Hi Confused2,
Gee you are picky. This "effect" was only discovered last year and you want all the answers "now". I think "freezing" will kill you... bottom line there. Nothing below 4 degrees. Best that will ever be done will be "suspension" ... for a long time with circulation maintained by an external cardiac pump... but at a low rate. I expect that some waste and nutrients will need to be circulated in the bodies of those in suspension other than Hydrogen Sulphide and other cocktails to supplement and protect tissues. But since this stops or extremely reduces metabolism this will almost arrest aging as far as this goes perhaps for hundreds of years but not indefinitely. It will certainly save on "consumables" on a long space trip and with certain "incentives" the body can be in "repair" mode rather than "reproductive" mode to minimize radiation damage.
My view is that this technique will initially be used in battlefield conditions to preserve life until you get the patient to a hospital and proper treatment.
As a side issue... some simple forms of life can be
completely dehydrated even "freeze dried" and reanimated with the addition of water such as tardigrades.
TARDIGRADES: BEARS OF THE MOSS They go into suspension through a process called "cryptobiosis". Survival of 100 years or more has been noted. This is "complete" bio-suspension. There is no metabolism at all. I doubt that humans can do this though.

But if a posthuman was biologically engineered to be capable of all this and more someday? Imagine if cryonics did not need to be externally asisted, and a person's going into "shock" would be replaced by an automatic self-suspection.

I don't think that a frozen embryo should count as being dead. If an embryo does not die, then it's just the brain that matters.
After reading about zero electrical activity and epilepsy, I'm not sure that the current electrical status of the brain is all that important (it can easily be heavily altered, returned, and you'll still be 'you') - except as something you want to return to.
To me, it's the neuronal connections that seem to matter the most.

Get this terminology right, before you go on.
1. A drug induced by a momma doc, i.e. Haiti voodoo priestess, utilizes a range of drugs, which aconite, is one of the ingredients.
This will induce a person, to a machine-like stupor, to where they can work for long hours.
This practice has been noted in both the Caribbean islands, as well as the old American south, to pay off debts.
* Once the debt has been paid off, the drug stupor, is reversed.
2. Said viral zombieism, which is a virus, said to attack the piamatter of the human brain, cause death trough the delivery of the said zombie virus, into a person's bloodstream.
This virus, causes death,. by arresting the metabolism, by a cloud of internal death.The victim reports a high fever, an apparent lack of cell lyses, at the sometimes bite wound.
This is followed by a raging high fever, comma, then death.
Upon death, the soul spirit complex, is chased out of the body and the said vital zombie virus, totally rewrite the DNA transcriptase,. assembly faze.
There is not a marked need for nutrition sustenance, as the body, is technically dead, however functions at is what is termed as a lower biological vitea level.
The upper higher functions issued by the once former healthy brain are ceased and the reptile, functionary brain, is activated.
There is however only a light response for the now largely unfuctioning brain, such as some recognition of faces and companions.
However, by and large, this ability is not present within the individual, who has succumbed to viral zombieism.The subject, is more or less, a walking deceased person.
* Note there is and have been well founded intimations, that the Russians have variated some form of this virus, in order to construct a super solider.This type of soldier would be less susceptible to pain and battlefield injuries, as they have been modified.
Please also be aware, of late reports also filtering our of Russian, that under leader Joseph Stalin, there was also an attempt to breed certain forms of apes into solders, which would have made them more effective on the battlefield.
> Note, in the incidence, of the church covered-up affair, of the written about vampire plague reports. This style of inception of both the vampire plagues and the supposed said zombie plagues, is that they are similar in their introduction actions, placed upon the human physio factors.
This is fever, malaise, high fever, swelling the of glands of the lymph system, lack of cells lyses at the bite wound, comma, then cessation of life?
