"Expert Predicts Frozen Humans Revived in 50-70 Years"

An expert claims that frozen humans could be brought back to life in 50 to 70 years, citing the successful resurrection of a 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost. However, the process would require significant advancements in medicine and tissue engineering. Cryoprotectant agents currently used in cryonic technology have toxic effects on the brain and body, making them insufficient for human revival. The ability to revive cryopreserved individuals could have profound philosophical, ethical, and medical implications, potentially offering an alternative to death for patients with terminal diseases.

Uncertain Future for US-China Science Collaboration as Extension Requested

The future of scientific collaboration between the US and China is uncertain as the US-China Science and Technology Agreement, which facilitates such collaborations, is set to expire. US legislators are urging the agreement to be allowed to expire due to concerns about intellectual property and China's military objectives. However, scientists argue that failure to renew the agreement would hinder progress on transnational issues like climate change. China has become a global leader in scientific research, but concerns have been raised about the quality of its research, particularly in fields like computer science. The souring ties between the US and China, along with restrictions and fear of collaboration, have already slowed down scientific collaborations between the two countries, which could undermine cutting-edge scientific advancements.
