1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: It's knowledge something that we don't like to spread around

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: here too quickly and certainly not too evenly. But we'll

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: have a go at it anyway. Who's next on the phone.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Then, Meg, We have Alex from the Big Smoke dot Com.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Hello, Alex? How are you?

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you good?

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: To talk to you? I saw the other day you

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: were on the ABC. You were talking about cryogenic freezing.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, the risk of oversimplifying it, you get

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: frozen and come back later.

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically, you know, they put chemicals inside your

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: body to avoid damage to your orpens after you die, right,

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: and then they basically freeze you until you get to

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: a point where they want to I guess unfreeze you,

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: defrost you and try to bring you back to life.

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: I see, So you're going to have to hope then,

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: well it's a kind of a win win and hedge

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: your bets. I thought you actually did it while you

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: were still alive, so that you know, you come back

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: in almost like a Woody Allen film, and you come

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: back and all of a sudden you're the smartest person

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: in the room. But it doesn't work the way You've

23
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: got to die first, you have.

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: To die, and it has to be after, like really

25
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: quite quickly after you legally declared dead. For example, there

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: are hundreds of people around the world that are currently frozen,

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: really fed with liquid nitrogen. They had to do it

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: after they died obviously. And in Australia we're getting our

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: first cryo facility and you know, people haven't pushed back

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: on it.

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: People are excited about it.

32
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: Even people are wanting to freeze their pets after they

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: die to try to bring them back as well.

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: No, I can see the advantages as well as one

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: of the disadvantages. Of course, when you come back and

36
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: they you know, unfreeze you, defrost you. I mean you're

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: still going to be old, right, and.

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: Then you have frostbite.

39
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, although however, with the advances in technology,

40
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: depending on when you come back, maybe they'll have the

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: technology to make you younger, to perhaps cure you anything

42
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: like that. So there are those advantages, yes, And.

43
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: There's the idea also that you are frozen until you

44
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: come back to a time where any of those diseases

45
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: could be easily cured.

46
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: And there are a lot of billionaires.

47
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Like Peter Fiel's PayPal they're putting a lot of money

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: into arranging their own cryo death to make sure that

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: they can come back one day.

50
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: But they all admit that they don't even know if

51
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: this is going to.

52
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Happen or not, so they're quite aware that it is

53
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: an ambiguous science at best.

54
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, and as I said, heads your bets,

55
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and there are, as you mentioned, thousands of people around

56
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: the world currently in this state.

57
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: And again, like I said, not just people's pets, and

59
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: also not just whole humans, but also just heads.

60
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Well, this is it.

61
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Some facilities, it's cheaper just to do your head, which

62
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: is customing, I guess.

63
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Of course, if you can't afford the full body, it's like,

64
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure I can't afford the blowway, but

65
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: just give us a trim at the back. So in

66
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: that case, it's again more like that documentary The Man

67
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: with Two Brains with Doctor Parvar. If you can't afford

68
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the whole body, you come back as a head.

69
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, by now pay later kind of situation.

70
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: And then you hope that they would attach you. I mean,

71
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like we're making this up, but

72
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: it's actually very serious.

73
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: Science isn't true.

74
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: It's true, and people are actually having to make that decision.

75
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: I want to freeze my entire body. Do I just

76
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: do the head?

77
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: Some people are arguing that they only need their head

78
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: because you really just need to preserve the human brain

79
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: and that's why there's you know, theories around that.

80
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it's happening a lot. It's happening a

81
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: lot more, and it's happening now in Australia.

82
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not the only one with a stupid question.

83
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: What is it?

84
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: Nick?

85
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Well? I want to know is it?

86
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Has someone actually come back? Yet?

87
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Nobody has come back. There's no evidence whatsoever that this

88
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: is going to work. Nobody has been declared legally dead,

89
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: frozen and then come back to life.

90
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Have you been to the seven eleven and watched anybody

91
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: just you know, ahead floating around me?

92
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: Have you no? Only on the Simpsons? Yeah?

93
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Right, so you can have it done. How much does

94
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: it cost only for a head?

95
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: Well, it depends where you go, you know, like like

96
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: in all its prime location. Some people are around fifty

97
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: to one hundred thousand dollars, others are more one hundred

98
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: and fifty two hudred thousand dollars for the whole body. Yeah, Pet,

99
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: you're talking twenty to fifty K, so you know it

100
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: is a legitimate theory.

101
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: It's a cr preservation process that they believe happens.

102
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: But again, like I said, nobody's actually been able to

103
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: successfully come back to.

104
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: You're going to go to a cut price place and

105
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: they'll go, look, we can't afford the whole head here.

106
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Can we wag your ear into an ice cray and

107
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: give us a caller to a thousand years lovely to

108
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: talk to you? Alex? What's the website?

109
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: The Big Smoke dot com dot I is.

110
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: We're trying to bring you up to date here at

111
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: WSFM on all of the incredible science. But in that

112
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: particular case, I think we'll give that one a miss.
