Cryonics: Not Ready For Prime Time

"Spread among several facilities around the world, hundreds of dead people are frozen in capsules cooled with liquid nitrogen — and hundreds more have just their heads in the same cold storage. These are people who have paid a lot of money for what they hope will be a life-extension procedure called cryonics. Their aspiration is that at some point in the future, perhaps the very distant future, technology and medical science will have advanced to the point that we'll know how to safely thaw their body, cure their cause of death, and revive them to resume a healthy life to whatever degree is possible. Today we're going to look at a number of aspects of this controversial technology. How does it work? What's the state of the science? And most importantly, what are the prospects of being revived in the future? And, fair warning: some of you might find parts of this episode a bit too ghoulish for your taste."
