Show by KUOW News and Information
Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Pocket Science… In Seattle, scientists are asking: Can you put someone in a state that’s perched on the knife’s edge between life and death...and bring them back? Cryogenic freezing, suspended animation, human hibernation. The idea has captivated people for ages. What if we could hit pause on ourselves to buy more time as we wait for an organ transplant or treatment after a terrible injury? Local scientists are getting closer to making it a reality… if only in lab animals for now. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.
