Mr. Freeze Has Arrived!!!
Hi! Do you think this post
is about me? Do you know who am I? I'm Mr Freeze, I was trying to save me wife from a unknown
disease whe I suffered a terrible accident, and now I just can live under 0° temperatures; of course this is not real, neither I. But, what if I tell you that
"freezing people" in order to seek for cures and once they would be found you can unfreeze
them to be healed. Well, that is not Science Fiction at all, just let me tell a
name, Cryogenic engineering.
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?
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. The 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"?
