The definition of death is purely a moving function of technology. In the 1850s, the moment your pulse and breathing stopped, you were legally dead and buried. In 2026, we routinely shock flatlined hearts back to life with defibrillators and keep brain-dead patients oxygenated on ECMO circuits. Clinical death is not a binary wall; it is a progressive biological breakdown. Vitrification simply freezes that breakdown curve at second zero. To claim cryonics is impossible is to make the arrogant assumption that 22nd-century molecular nanotechnology will be no more capable than a 2026 emergency room surgeon.
