Two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, from Thailand, was diagnosed with a rare cancer called ependymoblastoma. Tests revealed a 11cm tumour in the left side of her brain
The disease has a five-year survival rate of 30 per cent.
Matheryn fell into a coma and endured 12 rounds of brain surgery, 20 chemotherapy treatments, and 20 radiation therapy sessions. Her parents switched off her life support machine and she died on January 8 this year.
Her family had her body cryogenically preserved by Arizona-based Alcor. Her brain and body were frozen separately at -196C, the Daily Mail reported.
Her family hopes that one-day scientific advances will be able to revive her. If that’s not possible, they hope the cells from her brain and body can be studied in the future to help find a cure for the disease that killed her.
how are they supposed to revive her if they seperated her brain from her body
They hope science will get to a point where they can reprint her body of 2 years old from scratch so that they can transfer her remaining brain to that reprinted skull. Besides there has to be a cure found for the type of pediatric cancer that has caused her death. Because the cancer will only proceed from that. This is so unsettling I get chills from explaining.
Oh thats where the name for that flop snowflake on pokemon came from, all this time i was trying to figure out why its called such a strange name for an ice type

Sis, there's more to study in Science other than Human Anatomy.

It said in the future... you'd expect they did things like that. I hope one of my grand-grand-grand-grand-children revives me so I can see the pop world of the future.

It's a flop from gen 5.. Very forgettable.
Anyway, I think this isn't morally wrong or whatever. She never had a chance so I hope in the future. She gets a chance to have a life.
The contributions will be very helpful toward science and saving future lives.

How much did that cost them?
Oh My God. This is so sad. The child that age shouldn't have gone through traumatic experience like that.
