The most important application of nanotechnology is cryonics. Cryonics – derived from the Greek language, kryos meaning icy cold. Cryonics is the low-temperature preservation of living things who/which can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine, with the hope that healing and resuscitation may be possible in the future. Preserving to the point where molecular physical decay completely stops this state is known as cryonics suspension. The idea of cryonics was proposed by Robert Ettinger a Physics teacher after he read a book The Jameson Satellite by Neil R Jones in the year 1931. Later he published the books so called, The penultimate Triumph and The Prospects of Immortality in the years 1948 and 1962 respectively, which is a modern era of cryonics. Robert Ettinger - ‘ originator and pioneer of cryonics’. The word cryonics was proposed by Kerl Werner in 1965. Later it was developed by CSM, CSC(not in use know), CI, Alcor. In medicine, cryonics was once considered on the outer edge but is now moving closer to reality which means someone who died and was frozen last week may have a future again. Cryonics and nanotechnology form a useful pair. Cryonics can transport a terminally ill patient to future medical technology.

4.  This technology uses atoms with a view
to creating a desired product.
 The term nanotechnology has been a
combination of two terms,”nano”and
“ technology”.
 The term nano is derived from a Greek
word “nanos” which means “dwarf”.
 Thus nanotechnology is dwarf
technology. A nanometer is one billionth
of a metre.

5.  The most important application of nanotechnology is
cryonics.
 Cryonics – derived from Greek language, kryos meaning icy
cold.
 Cryonics is the low temperature preservation of living things
who/which can no longer be sustained by contemporary
medicine, with the hope that healing and resuscitation may be
possible in future.
 Preserving to the point where molecular physical decay
completely stops this state is known as cryonics suspension.

6.  The idea of cryonics was proposed by Robert Ettinger a
Physics teacher, after he read a book The Jameson Satellite
by Neil R Jones in the year 1931.
 Later he published the books so called , The penultimate
Trumph and The Prospects of Immortality in the years 1948
and 1962 respectively, which is a modern era of cryonics.
 Robert Ettinger - ‘originator and pioneer of cryonics’.
 The word cryonics was proposed by Kerl Werner in 1965.

7.  The first person Dr. James Bedford, a 73 -year-old
Psychology professor, was frozen with the intent of future
resuscitation by CSC on January 12 , 1967.
 In CI the first person frozen there was Ettinger’s mother and
later his two wives Elaine and Mae in the year 1977.
 Totally 306 bodies are preserved by cryonics in CI, Alcor and
Kriorus (Russia) till the date of 1 May 2011.

professor.

9. There are mainly five steps in preserving a living thing by using
the present technology:
1.Stabilize, cool, and transport the patient to the Cryonics
Institute.
2. Perfuse the patient with cryoprotective solutions .

10. 3.Lowers the patient temperature by adding the dry ice day to day until
the body reaches -79 degree centigrade.
4.Body is slowly lowered into the liquid nitrogen until it is submerged in
completely, by the completion of process temperature is -196 degree
centigrade.

11. 5.Finally stored in a cryostat made of fiberglass and perlite .

12.  On the way to Alcor, blood circulation is maintained and
patient is injected with medicine to minimize problems with
frozen tissues.
 At Alcor the body is cooled to 5 Degrees.
Contd.,

13.  Body is replaced with glycerol
to reduce ice formation.
 The patient is placed in cold
silicone oil, chilling the body
to -79 degree centigrade.
 Then cooled over 5 days in
liquefied nitrogen to -196
degree centigrade .

14. Process of preserving at ALCOR Institute

15.  Current medical science does not have the tools to fix damage
that occurs at the cellular and molecular level, and damage to
these systems is the cause of vast majority of fatal illness”.
 Cryonics basically deals with cells, these cells are in the order
of nanometers.
 At present there is no other technology which deals with such
minute cells.
 Only nanotechnology has the ability to deal with cells.

16.  Robots are programmed to
deliver drugs to particular cells
that are damaged.
 Nanoprobe has the capability of
carrying ligands.

17.  The Cryonics Institute in Clinton Township, Michigan,
charges a minimum of $28,000 and rarely more than
US$200,000, depending on the cryonics organization, the type
of cryopreservation neuro/whole body and the procedures
used.
 This is due to storing a cryopreserved person is in liquid
nitrogen, fracturing of the brain occurs, to overcome this
cooling from -130 to -196 degree centigrade.

18.  It is possible that the frozen people will be repairable and
relabelled as potentially alive.
 Life extension.
 Super medicine for fatal disease.
Disadvantages:-
 Population will be uncontrolled .
 Cryonics can’t restore the life to the people whose brain has
been physically destroyed.
 Practical implementation is quite difficult & expensive.

19.  In medicine, cryonics, was once considered on the outer edge,
but is now moving closer to reality ? which means someone
who died and was frozen last week may have a future again.
 Cryonics and nanotechnology form a useful pair.
 Cryonics can transport a terminally ill patient to future
medical technology.
