Life Extension, Current Medical Technology and Patient
Medical Biostasis employs ultra low temperatures and specialized cryoprotective solutions to preserve a human in cases where current medical technology can not save the patient - for example terminal cancer or end stage heart disease - in a state in which future medical technology might be able to revive the patient. It's important to note that this is an experimental procedure, meaning that while human cryopreservations are possible, no patient has been resuscitated from a cryopreserved state as of now. It is generally understood that for resuscitation significantly more research and advanced technology is required. Nevertheless, Biostasis is a tangible possibility for people interested in longevity and life extension until other methods become available. This talk will serve as an introduction to the topic covering various aspects such as technology, research, ethical consideration, and the general logic of Biostasis
