Science fiction has used this term and theory quite often in its films, but where this idea came from? There is a frog (wood frog) that lives in the northern area of The States and Alaska; on winter, with the cold weather this frog past the winter Frozen, yes FROZEN!.. unbelievable. The frog’s cells and its amount of nucleoproteins help him to be in a "stand-by state", and when higher temperatures come, it lives once again. Scientifics and biologists are still trying to find out the final key that allows to this frog the ability unfreeze itself without suffer any cell damaged because of ice.
Would you freeze your loved ones in order to keep them with you in the future? Would you be frozen waiting for your perfect love? Would it be consider a counter-moral action against the natural circle of life?
Wood Frog
A young man was walking one day in Jerusalem when he [...][run into] Azrael, the angel of death. Screaming and running [...][he went to talk to the] wise King Solomon to implore his advice. The King [...] counseled him to flee from Jerusalem [...], and avoid [the] death.
ReplyDeleteThe man rode desperately out of the gates of Jerusalem and went straight to Damascus. Much relieved upon entering the city, [but] in his path was Azrael. Now unable to escape, the man cried to the angel that he had avoided death in Jerusalem. "You see," Azrael said cheerfully, "I was supposed to meet you here in Damascus, so I was quiete surprised to find you in Jerusalem."
Humans have always wanted to avoid the death, and apparently, cryogenic seems to be the best option but, can we really defeat death or it is just a "time out"?
