In 1967, James Bedford had a plan to cheat death. He was the first person to be cryogenically frozen. This process promised to preserve his body until a theoretical future when humanity could cure any illness, and essentially, reverse death. So is it possible to freeze a human, preserve them indefinitely, and then thaw them out? Shannon N. Tessier explores the challenges of human cryopreservation. [Directed by Gavin Edwards, Movult, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen, music by Stephen LaRosa].

Can you freeze your body and come back to life?

Cryobiology reveals the complex challenge of human cryopreservation, balancing between scientific hope and current limitations.

The science of vitrification shows promise for cryonics, yet faces obstacles like CPA toxicity and uniform cooling challenges.

Current cryopreservation methods offer more myth than reality, highlighting the need for scientific breakthroughs and ethical debates.
