I'm with you there. Any type of freezing that damages cells is beyond repair.
Cryogenics at present appears to be a con. The theory is that future technology will be able to repair any damage. The massive cell damage in a mammal would appear to be beyond repair.
Those amphibians have a sort of "anti freeze" in their tissues. The question would be is it possible synthesise that compound and use it in a higher life form like a mammal without causing further damage.
There have been experiments chilling some mammals, including a dog to the point of no vital signs and then slowly warming them to bring them back life with no obvious signs of impairment. ( this was in the 1980s) A more advanced life form like a human may not have the same result.
In some surgical procedures, chilling the patient is used to decrease blood loss.
The RAMC noted during the Falklands War, that chilled casualties survived longer in the field before CasEvac, and they survived wounds that probably would have been fatal in a warmer climate.
Anyway cryogenic freezing is the ultimate in putting your trust in others.
The machines would break, the customers would thaw, then go in the compost.
I'm sure they would also be happy to freeze customers before they have worked out the tech to revive them.
Yeah, a person would have to be very trusting to use that technology.
I suppose we may find out with DECLASS, if the Deep State ironed the bugs out! I have my doubts, but I'm open minded!
I have my doubts too. We're not designed for it, we're very dynamic systems and we have huge complicated nervous system.
Just because a small amphibian can survive being frozen if they are adapted for it, doesn't mean that we can.
