Manage episode 387501795 series 2996601
Cryonics is the practice of freezing someone who has died in the hopes of reviving them in the future when science and medicine has advanced enough that this would be possible. You’ve probably heard that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen and is stored beneath the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride at Disneyland, but is there any truth to this? With anything that could be considered this strange, there are plenty of myths and legends. Today, we’ll go over the Walt Disney cryonics legend, early attempts at cryopreservation, and some horror stories of early cryonics patients.
