This is very important, because we could stop people from losing their memories or having mental illnesses. That would be very important for quite a large number of diseases. OK?Right,next question,please.Yes? Hello.Dr Cartwright... I read an article in the a paper about...about freezing people when they die of a disease, and then,years later, when we've found a cure for the disease, we could wake them up and cure them. Will that be possible? Apparently,someone in California is already doing that sort of thing. No,I'm afraid not- freezing people and bringing them back to life won't be possible at all! There are some companies that do this- but unfortunately there's no scientific basis behind it. The important thing to remember is that...we can change processes, but we can't reverse them. There is no way in which we could bring back all the cells of a dead body to life. It would be like trying to change a hamburger back into a cow... Er, I would like to point out,though,that...we may be able to freeze certain body parts which are in good condition and save them for some time.But whole bodies are out of the question. I'm afraid it is just not possible.
