Surgeons saved baby's life by freezing her to death
Is this even possible? Freezing someone to death, operating on them, then bringing them back to life?

Quote:
A baby was ‘frozen to death’ for more than 20 minutes in pioneering surgery to fix a life-threatening heart defect.
Samaa Zohir, who was born with blood vessels to her heart connected the wrong way round, was chilled to the point of death before medics stopped her heart to correct the otherwise fatal condition.

It was also on today's Ming Pao.

the problem with cryogenics is that they havent been able to successfully defrost people. This is due to when the water of the cell is frozen it expands. which in turn, turned the cells of the living specimen into mush. Maybe it'll happen one day and that day has yet to come

The article says the baby's blood was chilled down to 18C (from a normal 37C) for the pioneering procedure. I don't think that would qualify as freezing, and her clinical death didn't occur until after the heart injection - she wasn't clinically dead from the 'freezing'.

Working on a frozen organ would be hard, imagine how hard precision cuts would be, and the frozen lack of pliability probably means a lot of brute force manuevers and collateral damage

Cryogenic stasis on living specimens is possible today, there's this frog that allows itself to freeze through during every winter, before thawing every spring as a means of surviving the winter

I think you can do it to flies as well... they'll come back to life after being thawed from frozen.
