Humains CRYOGÉNISÉS : le Business de l'IMMORTALITÉ - On Se l'Demande #192 - Le JDE
In 1967, at the age of 73, James Bedford, a former psychology professor, made a radical decision as he faced terminal kidney cancer with lung metastases. He opted to be the first human to undergo cryopreservation, hoping for a future revival when medical science might be advanced enough to cure his illness and restore him to life. This marked humanity's first attempt to refuse the finality of death through cryogenics.
Science fiction often portrays cryopreservation as a straightforward process for future resuscitation, whether for long-duration space travel, preserving leaders, or even as a form of punishment. Surprisingly, this concept isn't limited to fiction. Hundreds of wealthy individuals have already entrusted their bodies to low temperatures, with thousands more awaiting the procedure, driven by the hope of awakening in a scientifically advanced future.
