[00:01.81]This is very important,
[00:03.35]because we could stop people
[00:04.66]from losing their memories
[00:06.12]or having mental illnesses.
[00:07.75]That would be very important
[00:08.94]for quite a large number of diseases.
[00:11.11]OK?Right,next question,please.Yes?
[00:15.85]Hello.Dr Cartwright...
[00:17.62]I read an article in the a paper about...
[00:19.64]about freezing people
[00:20.62]when they die of a disease,
[00:22.05]and then,years later,
[00:23.68]when we've found a cure for the disease,
[00:25.29]we could wake them up and cure them.
[00:26.79]Will that be possible?
[00:28.27]Apparently,someone in California
[00:29.85]is already doing that sort of thing.
[00:32.81]No,I'm afraid not- freezing people
[00:34.81]and bringing them back to life
[00:36.33]won't be possible at all!
[00:38.02]There are some companies that do this-
[00:40.14]but unfortunately there's no scientific basis
[00:42.55]behind it.
[00:43.74]The important thing to remember is that...
[00:46.06]we can change processes,
[00:47.36]but we can't reverse them.
[00:49.15]There is no way in which
[00:50.19]we could bring back all the cells
[00:51.65]of a dead body to life.
[00:53.76]It would be like trying to change a hamburger
[00:55.89]back into a cow...
[00:58.30]Er, I would like to point out,though,that...
[01:00.90]we may be able to freeze certain body parts
[01:03.14]which are in good condition
[01:04.49]and save them for some time.
[01:06.46]But whole bodies are out of the question.
[01:08.64]I'm afraid it is just not possible.
