What’s the Difference Between Cryonics and Cryogenics?

The Cryonics Process

The exact cryonics process can vary, depending on individual situations and service providers. But in general, it starts when someone is officially declared dead. After initial procedures, a CardioPulmonary Support machine can be used to cool the body. This device can help perform chest compressions and works by pumping oxygen through a face mask and a tube. At the same time, many medications and a mixture can be injected to prevent the tissues and organs in the body from damage caused by freezing. The storage process is completed when the body is maintained in a cryonics facility. To ensure long-term storage, a container full of liquid nitrogen will be used. [3]
