    But whole humans are too big to quickfreeze. The cold just doesn’t travel fast enough through the torso and brain to not cause damage.

    Ok, there’s maybe a workaround. There was some news years ago, about someone that replaced a pigs blood with cold saltwater + glucose to keep them in a stasis and then just pumped the blood back to revive them. That aparently worked up to a few weeks but if you find a chemical that keeps liquid at -100°C or less (and isn’t poisonous)…

      Yeah I won’t pretend to know or care about the way it’s done for whole humans. I am dubious of its feasibility, leaning strongly towards thinking it’s just plain old exploitation of grieving people.
