Scientists Invent Particles That Will Let You Live Without Breathing

[The_King_of_Everything]

This may seem like something out of a science fiction movie: researchers have designed microparticles that can be injected directly into the bloodstream to quickly oxygenate your body, even if you can't breathe anymore. It's one of the best medical breakthroughs in recent years, and one that could save millions of lives every year.

The invention, developed by a team at Boston Children's Hospital, will allow medical teams to keep patients alive and well for 15 to 30 minutes despite major respiratory failure. This is enough time for doctors and emergency personnel to act without risking a heart attack or permanent brain injuries in the patient.

The solution has already been successfully tested on animals under critical lung failure. When the doctors injected this liquid into the patient's veins, it restored oxygen in their blood to near-normal levels, granting them those precious additional minutes of life.


"We have engineered around this problem by packaging the gas into small, deformable particles," said scientist John Kheir. "They dramatically increase the surface area for gas exchange and are able to squeeze through capillaries where free gas would get stuck."

There probably is. But think about eternal life and how much it would skew society as we know it.

what do u mean

Life is meaningless if you live forever breh

Life is meaningless if you DON'T.

Why build an empire when you lose it all in death?

You lose EVERYTHING you've ever worked toward in life. That means living only for a finite amount of time is meaningless.

Just think, if there was some kind of "cure for death" who would get it? The rich? The famous? The people with connections? They would definitely keep it HIGHLY under wraps, make it illegal, or give it to a very chosen few. Because let's face it, not just everyone will be able to get the cure or else overpopulation would become a massive problem. We would have to reevaluate the fabric of society. No one will be motivated to much, why rush the clock against the clock of time when you have until the end of time to do it? It'd be ironic to today, I believe. People work hard to earn a living and to secure that comfy retirement but if you're never going to grow old and die why bother to work now and play later, so to speak?

I could go on and on. But you best believe the cure would be hush hush.
