Freezing Brains and Printing Bodies: The Future of Cryonics
not there yet: something that is not ready or finished
Cryonics is the science of preserving bodies with the hope of bringing them back to life in the future. One type of cryonics preserves only the brain. This is cheaper and faster than freezing the whole body. The idea is that in the future, we can 3D print new bodies for these brains. Harvard Professor Jennifer Lewis thinks this technology could be ready in ten years. Dr. Emil Kendziorra from the Cryonics company Tomorrow Bio is not so optimistic. He believes we may be able to bring people back to life in the future, but it will take time. “Medically and technologically we are not there yet, and we will not be there for many, many decades,” he says. Tomorrow Bio charges €75,000 for brain-only cryonic preservation, but there’s no guarantee.
