The first frozen husband in China: even if you can't live, you have contributed to medicine.

Release date: 2017-08-18

After Du Hong, a female writer and a three-body editor of science fiction in Chongqing, underwent cryosurgery, the 49-year-old Shandong volunteer Xu Xianlian died of lung cancer in Jinan not long ago. She immediately accepted the body's “freezing” surgery. Became the second Chinese to be cryopreserved, and this is the first "patient" to freeze in China and wait for resurrection.

Researcher: It is a sacrifice that does not guarantee resurrection

The difference is that in May 2015, Du Hong was operated by Alcor, one of the world's largest frozen human research institutions. Du Hong also only frozen the brain, and his head was kept at a liquid nitrogen environment of minus 196 °C. In special containers, the remains were donated to Alco for research on frozen humans. According to Alco's scientists, 50 years later, science and technology may allow Du Hong to thaw his head and rebuild his body, that is, resurrection.

This time, for the exhibition of Wenlian, the Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute in Jinan, Shandong Province, is also a frozen human body. "Not everyone will make such a choice, and the current conditions will not guarantee that Ms. Zhan will be able to 'resurreate' in the future. It can be said that she has made her own sacrifice for the development of medical care." Yinfeng Life Science The staff of the institute said.

On May 8, 2017, 49-year-old Zhan Wenlian died of lung cancer. Before her death, her family completed the registration of the donation on her behalf and decided to accept a cryosurgery after her death. Her body was stored in a liquid nitrogen tank with a volume of 2000 liters and a temperature of 196 °C. This is also considered It is the first human body cryopreservation in China.

Husband: We can only look forward to the future

On May 10, at the Low Temperature Medical Research Center of Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute, Gui Junmin saw his wife lying on a special bed after the completion of the cooling: her head was exposed, the clavicle was covered under the invisible, but from the face It can be seen that because of dehydration, it is a little thinner, like asleep, very relaxed and very serene. After 15 seconds, Zhanwenlian was transferred to a cryogenic liquid nitrogen tank for long-term storage, and it is expected that one day may be "resurrected".

Cryonics entrusts human expectations for the future, but it is also a cutting-edge and controversial technology. There are three major organizations in the world that provide frozen human body services. The Arco Life Extension Fund, based in Arizona, USA, conducted their first cryopreservation in 1976. But so far, the world's cryonics can only operate on freezing and storage. There is no precedent for "resurrection" - freezing and "recovery" may face serious cell damage, making storage particularly difficult. Therefore, this technology is more considered a business conduct.

The 49-year-old Gui Junmin is a staff member of a public institution in Jinan. After his healthy wife suddenly suffered from lung cancer, his life suddenly changed. After he learned that his wife’s illness could not be cured, he sent his wife to the Hospice Hospital for a coincidence. After the cryonics technology, he did not experience the struggle of too long secular ideas.

Both husband and wife are very much in favor of the donation of the remains. I feel that the people are gone. "You have to leave something for the society. You can use all the homes. You can't use the remaining bone shelves. You can send them to the school's anatomy room. Row.

"In the future, we can only look forward to the future. Even if we can't live, we can contribute a little to medicine." Gui Junmin told reporters.

â–  Dialogue parties

"There was a worldly pressure and I wanted to understand it later."

Regarding the reasons for freezing his wife and some struggles before and after, Gui Junmin told reporters some thoughts at the time.

Q: How long has it been since I learned about this project in February this year and finally decided to participate in this project?

Gui Junmin: How long has it not been experienced? I knew this project at the beginning, and after I talked about it, I decided to do it directly, and then I fulfilled some formalities and waited for the opportunity.

Q: What is your family's attitude towards this program?

Gui Junmin: They have no opinion. Except for the earliest time, her big sister considered the pressure of the world, and most people felt that it was safe to enter the earth. People have already gone, and it doesn’t make sense to toss her. She didn't think about what we felt. In general, after we finished communicating, this thing is fine.

Q: What is the biggest concern between you and your family about this plan?

Gui Junmin: The human body is very fragile under low temperature conditions. A very slight move, people may be broken. They proposed some operational solutions, and I feel that they are still acceptable.

Q: Will you feel the pressure?

Gui Junmin: From my heart, there is still pressure at the beginning, and later I have no pressure after I understand it. At first, some secular issues will be considered, such as the handling of the aftermath. Later, through the lawyers, the medical team will provide us with complete legal procedures, and there is no pressure. We didn't do bad things, just made a pioneer. How to explain to others is more troublesome for us. People can't be silent without a word, but also involve her friends, how to send letters to others, this is also stressful, then we sent a circle of friends, bought a cemetery - clothing crown, buried with parents . In fact, living well for her, no need to do to show others, leaving her life is the best comfort for her.

Q: What ethical issues do you think the cryopreservation technology of the human body involves?

Gui Junmin: If she lived after 50 years, how is the identity of the person defined? I only hope that she will stay there well. I also hope that medicine will speed up the progress and will cure her disease in the future. It is more hopeful that the technology of low temperature and rewarming will have new developments.

Q: What is the cost of surgery and how much do you bear?

Gui Junmin: Most of them are supported by Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Public Welfare Foundation. We don’t have to bear it ourselves. We donate the remains to them free of charge, and they take care of us on the cost.
