Brain freezing is the path to eternal life
Last reviewed: 02.07.2025
Specialists from the Humai company have announced that they have developed a unique method that will allow a person to live forever. According to the authors of the new technology, it is based on cryogenic freezing of the brain of a deceased person. Scientists offer everyone the opportunity to "resurrect" in a few decades, freeze their brain after death and return to life in a new, artificial body (at this stage, brain transplantation into a new body is impossible, but scientists are confident that in just a couple of decades this will be quite realistic).
But in order for a person to become the same in decades, scientists propose using artificial intelligence. After freezing, scientists will implant a special chip into the brain, on which all data about the person will be recorded. All those wishing to resort to cryofreezing will be carefully studied before death - behavior style, habits, thinking, manner of speech, etc., then after transplantation, all this information will be integrated through the chip with the brain and the new body.
The founder of Humai, Josh Bocanegra, noted that those wishing to use the service of cryogenic freezing of the brain and subsequent “resurrection” should use a special application that was developed to select those wishing to live forever.
He also explained that after death, the human brain will be frozen using the latest cryotechnologies. After scientists complete all the necessary developments and are ready to transplant the brain into a new artificial body, the person will be able to return to life. Scientists also intend to use nanotechnologies in their work, which will help restore brain cells not only after defrosting, but also during the natural aging process. Experts noted that achievements in cloning will be very useful for their work in this area.
Several years ago, scientists already stated that the human brain can live much longer than the body. According to American researchers, the brain can function normally for 200 years, but human organs fail much earlier, so they suggest replacing "outdated" ones with artificial analogues. Now science is actively working in this direction and in the laboratory they successfully grow hearts, kidneys and other important organs that can be suitable for transplantation to humans. Considering all the latest scientific achievements, it can be assumed that in just a few decades, artificial organs will be widely used in transplantology, and an artificial body will become not fiction, but reality.
However, we should not forget about the negative factors that affect our health, for example, ecology. A group of scientists from the USA, having conducted their research, stated that harmful emissions from megacities have an extremely negative effect on the human brain, they can not only provoke a disruption of the nervous system, but also lead to the development of diseases such as schizophrenia or autism. And given the fact that scientists propose cryofreezing the brain for “eternal” life, perhaps more attention should be paid to environmental problems?
