Question

Is this true that if we freeze a living body it wouldn't die?

Answer 1

it is possible, its called cryopreservation. if i'm not mistaken, the cells are kept in a state of suspended animation where everything, including metabolism stops. check out the wikipedia site below.

Answer 2

No, in general, and simply put, cells are full of water, when frozen, the water expands, and each cell is ruptured irreparably...

Answer 3

Just to respond the the answer that you can freeze cells:

Yes you can freeze cells and later warm them up so that they continue to grow. However this works because the cells are suspended in a cryoprotectant (in cell culture it contains DMSO, not sure about the Cryonic industry) that goes into the cells and stops the ice crystals from forming. Also you slow the freezing process down sufficiently to limit ice crystal formation. Typically you are supposed to cool at -1ºC per minute

However this becomes more difficult the larger the block of tissue becomes because you cannot get all the cells to freeze at the same time or get the cryoprotectant into all the cells. Also the cryoprotectants tend to be toxic and there are also issues with potential for ischemic (loss of blood) injury as the cryoprotectant replaces blood.

Answer 4

Ice crystals destroy cell membranes. No.
