[Intro]
Know this isn't someone's vision of heavenly ice. This is liquid nitrogen, used in the process of cryonic preservation. You're looking at the body of a fifteen-year-old man who has just moments ago been pronounced dead of colon cancer
And these people are medical personnel from the American Cryonic Society, with whom he contracted to be frozen, right here, in his own living room. Alerted by cell phone, they have arrived within moments of his death to begin the process of cryonic preservation. We are watching the patient being packed in ice as the cooling down process has begun. In this first stage, he will be ventilated, medications such as anticoagulants, antioxidants and other drugs, his temperature, [?], and so on, will be constantly monitored, and his blood will be gradually pumped out and be replaced with a water-based coolant
After these initial steps, the patient gets transported by ambulance to one of the society's facilities. Over a period of up to a week, the patient's temperature will gradually be lowered as he is placed in a series of tanks and cooling boxes, filled with liquid nitrogen. Ultimately, all his blood will be washed out and replaced by a combination of medically treated cooled liquids and ice. And finally, encased in a tube, he will be lowered into his permanent resting place in this vacuum vault, which will then be placed underground to await the day he returns to life. He won't wait alone, by the way. The vault is large enough to hold four full bodies, and two heads
