Some people in America never want to die. They
contact a businessman called Art Quaife. Mr. Quaife
works for a company in California called Trans Time. Trans
Time freezes people after they die. Doctors can cure
many diseases, but not all of them, so Trans Time freezes people who hope that
some time in the future doctors and scientists will be able to bring them back
to life. They also freeze people who die of old age;
these people hope that, in the future, there will be medicines that can make them
young and healthy again. Can they really bring the
dead back to life? In 1987, a Trans Time scientist
froze a healthy dog. The dog's heart stopped beating;
the dog was dead. Then the scientist brought the dog
back to life. After a person dies, workers at Trans
Time cool the body with ice and chemicals and, when it is very cold, they put
it into a capsule and fill the capsule with liquid nitrogen. |
