The basis of cryonics or medical cryopreservation is to safely store a legally dead subject until a time in the future when technology and medicine will permit reanimation after eliminating the disease or cause of death. Death has been debunked as an event occurring after cardiac arrest to a process where interjecting its progression can allow for reversal when feasible. Cryonics technology artificially halts further damages and injury by restoring respiration and blood circulation, and rapidly reducing temperature. The body can then be preserved at this extremely low temperature until the need for reanimation. Presently, the area has attracted numerous scientific contributions and advancement but the practice is still flooded with challenges. This paper presents the current progression in cryonics research. We also discuss obstacles to success in the field, and identify the possible solutions and future research directions.
人体冷冻技术或医学低温保存的基础是安全储存法律上已判定死亡的对象，直到未来某个时候，技术和医学能够在消除疾病或死亡原因后使其复苏。死亡已不再被视为心脏骤停后发生的一个事件，而是一个过程，在可行的情况下，介入这个过程的进展可以实现逆转。人体冷冻技术通过恢复呼吸和血液循环，并迅速降低温度，人为地阻止进一步的损伤。然后，身体可以在这个极低的温度下保存，直到需要复苏。目前，该领域已经吸引了众多的科学贡献和进展，但实践中仍然充满挑战。本文介绍了人体冷冻技术研究的当前进展。我们还讨论了该领域成功面临的障碍，并确定了可能的解决方案和未来的研究方向。
