cryogenics... as in, putting a body into a deep freeze to "preserve" it actually does just the opposite. Anyone who has taken basic college level biology will know what happens to cells and cell membranes that are frozen.
The link works, and slowing down cell metabolism is a great thing for the type of situations listed in the article...but don't for a moment think that this somehow translates into "if i get frozen and preserved for a few hundred years, then maybe I can be revived later!!"
defribulators bring people back from the brink also... but i don't see anyone sticking the hand of a corpse into an electrical outlet with the belief that it will possibly "bring the dead back to life"

You can theoretically freeze someone, without causing massive cellular damage. It involves introducing massive amounts of something like glucose, which prevents the formation of large ice crystals; and the ability to freeze all the tissue very quickly - again to prevent the formation of ice crystals. I don't think anyone has seriously perfected the technique yet.

Hi guys, this is my first post. I was gonna be a lurker but when I posted this on the INTP forum I was a tad skeptical, INTP's not having much sense of morality and all.
Do you always stereotype people you don't understand?
