The translators haven ' t been literal with any of the other move names so far . <| sep |> They currently use a vitrification process that involves infusing the brainbody with chemicals that prevent cells freezing and bursting . My understanding is that this chemical has been used in the past to chill a rabbit kidney to 134 and the kidney was successfully thawed and implanted afterwards . However to ensure a minimum of freezing and bursting they use a higher concentration of the chemical that has negative effects on cells . So it appears there is some attempt to do what you ' re suggesting but they ' re relying on medical technology to progress tremendously to undo the damage which follows from the process . Which makes sense really , because if you can successfully grow a body and transplant a brain into it than it follows that you can likely fix whatever damage you ' ve done to a brain to begin with so maintaining the information within that brain is a higher priority than other ancillary damage .
