This document discusses cryonics and suspended animation. It explains that cryonics involves freezing terminally ill patients in hopes that future medical advances can cure them. However, freezing risks damaging cells and tissues. New techniques like vitrification which uses cryoprotectants aim to reduce these risks by preventing ice crystallization. While small tissues and cells can be frozen, whole organ and body freezing remains unrealistic. Some believe that with future technology, entire humans could be frozen and revived. However, this has not been achieved yet. The document also notes that cryonics companies charge $125,000 for full body freezing and market to those wishing to be revived in the future along with frozen pets.
