The most important application of Nanotechnology is CRYONICS. “Cryo” is a Greek root meaning "cold"
Cryonics is the science and practice of preserving the recently deceased in hope of future revival
Freezing the body
The word cryonics
Is the practice of
Freezing a deadbody
In hopes of someday
Reviving it
ACTUAL PROCESS:
The person should be cooled as soon as possible after death. Heparin, an anti-coagulant that keeps the blood from clotting, should be administered if possible. The body is packed in ice and sent to the Cryonics Institute.
2. At the institute, a process called "wash out and perfusion" is performed. The body remains packed in ice throughout the procedure, which takes a few hours.
3.The body is placed in a sleeping bag, and put in an insulated box made of wood on the outside and fiberglass on the inside for one week. Dry ice is placed on a fabric platform above the box.The body is then moved to an insulated container that has liquid nitrogen at the bottom. Every day for a week, the body is slowly lowered into the liquid nitrogen until it is completely submerged. When the process is complete, the body temperature is minus-196 degrees Celsius, or minus-320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why nanotechnology is used in cryonics?
Current medical science does not have the tools to fix damage that occurs at the cellular and molecular level, and damage to these systems is the cause of vast majority of fatal illness”.
Cryonics basically deals with cells, these cells are in the order of nanometers.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
With the knowledge of cryonics crayonists are preserving the brains of human.
Each person alive today is a single cell, and a complete human being can grow in the natural state.
