Können Menschen nach 46.000 Jahren wie Würmer wiedererlebt werden?

In light of recent scientific discoveries regarding the potential for nematode worms to be revived after 46,000 years, let’s explore the implications and possibilities for human revival. The ability to revive organisms after such extensive periods prompts us to consider the potential for similar feats with human remains. How might advances in cryopreservation and biotechnology pave the way for the revival of human tissues or even entire bodies long after death?

Furthermore, such discussions inevitably raise profound ethical considerations. What rights and considerations should be afforded to individuals who may be revived in the distant future? How do we navigate the complexities of consent and autonomy in scenarios where individuals are revived without their explicit consent? Additionally, what are the societal implications of potentially extending human lifespan through revival technologies?

By examining these questions, we can delve into the intersection of science, ethics, and the future of human existence. Let’s ponder the possibilities and challenges of reviving humans after millennia of dormancy and the profound impact it could have on our understanding of life, death, and what it means to be human.

Currently, humans can be [revived](https://www.newscientist.com/article/2224004-exclusive-humans-placed-in-suspended-animation-for-the-first-time/) after two hours at near freezing without any brain, heart, or lung activity and no blood in the body.

A [rabbit kidney](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2781097/) was reanimated and transplanted with some damage after several minutes of cryogenic vitrification a couple decades ago.

A few years ago, [rat kidneys](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38824-8) were reanimated and transplanted without damage after 100 days of vitrification.

In 2014, [Dr. L. Stephen Coles](https://youtu.be/yrGbuV-1DXg) became the first human to enter cryostasis with no ice crystals or fractures in his brain.

In 2022, Robert A. Freitas explored over the course of [700 pages](https://www.alcor.org/cryostasis-revival/?noamp=mobile) how people currently in cryostasis might be reanimated with distant future technology.

With enough research, human cryogenic suspended animation will eventually be perfected because it doesn’t contradict any physical laws, and since preservation is much easier than reanimation, we can be certain that the first viable preservation will occur (if it didn’t already occur) long before the first reanimation.

So, preserving people as best as possible today [makes sense.](https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html)
