Freeze Yourself To Live Forever

If you were brought back from being frozen, would you still be you?

So, here's the deal - when it comes to freezing people to potentially revive them in the future, it's a bit sketchy. Companies can't make any promises about bringing someone back to life. One lady, Jean Hillier, was frozen after a night out and miraculously revived. Scientists think her body went into a hibernation-like state, slowing down her blood flow. Some experts believe that this concept of "hibernation" could be used for long space journeys, like to Mars. NASA is even considering putting astronauts into a deep sleep to conserve resources. Animals, like narwhals and Arctic squirrels, have some amazing abilities to withstand extreme cold. Humans can also freeze things, like their eggs, for later use. But when it comes to thawing out frozen bodies or brains, things get complicated. Reviving memories and personality is a whole other ball game, and it's a bit like trying to wake someone up from a deep unconscious state. In the end, the question remains - if you were brought back from being frozen, would you still be you? It's a tough call, even for the experts.
