Cheat death and get a Second Chance at life. Your heart melting moment of the hour, the way and nine yearold cheerleader was welcome back, when it comes to life after death it is hardly a discussion of faith and religion. Advances in science are getting closer to ever bringing people back from the dead. A device used in Television Shows for decades. Frozen survivors from the 20th century. Closer to real life than you may think. There are seven in this one and 10 in this one. At this institute the nitrogen filled tanks dont have windows. Patients hoping to be revived and restored to good health inside. Forever is in the goal. Are believers death is impermanent just an illness waiting for a cure. Would like to do with my life and life is really short. That is one reason this Financial Planner wants to give it a shot. It will be frozen temporarily.

Reviving a person or a pet sounds farfetched but it has happened before, last winter 26 yearold justin smith was found blue and lifeless in a pennsylvania snowbank 12 hours after he had gone missing. The state police was on scene they were doing a death investigation. Not giving up, a local doctor used a special machine to warm his blood and pump it into his lost toes but had no brain damage. That is the idea of cryonics with one big difference, legally freezing someone on purpose they have to be declared dead first. The moment that happens the person can then be placed in a portable ice bath to cool while a heart and lung machine keep the blood and oxygen flowing. You want to keep the bloo so what you are freezing is living not to dead. When the body core temperature reaches 10 degrees blood is removed and replaced and in the body is frozen and stored vertically head down in a nitrogen filled the tank, it could take decades or centuries before medicine makes an attempt at this. The freeze damage would have a lot of things to overcome. This science isnt just to bring people back to life, there is a Group Offering 50,000 to the first person who could freeze an organ and then thought it out successfully transplanting it, the government is Funding Research into the same thing. Many people are confused about amendment one, florida needs more solar, lets do it the right way. This november, voted yes on one for the sun. It sounds like it is suggesting a yes vote on amendment one. I would expand your right as an Energy Consumer but Solar Energy Experts are weighing in they say it does not do that so we will break it down this the first would put your right to install solar panels into the state constitution in florida, it turns out you already have that right. The second part, solar experts say it hurts people trying to go green because the wording allows Utility Companies to charge solar users making up for the money they would use lose if too many people use solar panels. It would give the big monopoly utilities free reign to discriminate against customers regenerate their own power and dont buy as much from them. Almost 22 million was spent on this amendment, most of it came from Utility Companies. We should point out the other side of this, Power Companies are arguing if too many people use solar panels the amendment customers dont end up paying the price.
