Relatable man , my throat has swollen up this week and it hurts to swallow so I ate some cereal this morning and that ' s it , hope the antibiotics I got for it come through <| sep |> At this stage , cryonics is not bad because it extends life . It is bad because it literally kills you . To freeze without damaging the organs , you need a lot of toxic cryoprotectants . This has to diffuse throughout all the organs . Even in the lab , we can do this for only thin slices of tissue . In other words , the freezing technology itself is NOT viable . What they are hoping is that the damaged cells can berepaired in the future . But this is akin to shooting someone in the head and hoping the damage on the head can be repaired in the future .
