死亡是我們人類註定會面臨的課題，但你有沒有想過我們可以「暫停」死亡嗎？在1964年被稱為「人體冷凍技術之父」的埃丁格（Robert Ettinger）就提出了人體冷凍的概念，將人體急速冷凍，等待未來科技讓「冷凍人」復活。一位美國的自願者詹姆斯（James Bedford）在1967年成為了第一位凍存身體的人，這位全球首例「冷凍人」傳出將在今年解凍，也讓不少人好奇，他究竟能否復活成功？

「人體冷凍技術之父」的埃丁格，在他最重要的著作《永生不死的前景》中不斷提及「冷凍復活」，他認為死亡是一個漸進的過程，如果身體被凍得足夠快，死亡是可以逆轉的。此書在當時影響了很多人，其中就包括罹患肺癌的詹姆斯·貝德福（James Bedford），還有29歲的水電工尼爾森（Robert Nelson）。
水電工尼爾森因為對「人體冷凍技術」深深著迷，開始研究各種冷凍復活的資料，甚至還成為了當地「美國生命延長協會」的主席。在1965年6月，尼爾森主動寫信給詹姆斯，邀請他成為第一位參與「冷凍復活實驗」的人，而罹患了癌症，只能長年臥病在床的詹姆斯答應了，他準備了10萬美元用於身體日後的維護後，在1967 年1月12日嚥下最後一口氣。

詹姆斯過世後，尼爾森和幾位醫師開始了這項人類歷史上首次「人體冷凍」手術，他們先為詹姆斯洗了個冷水澡，讓屍體可以冷卻，之後抽光他體內全部的血液，並注射了大量的二甲基亞碸，這是一種在當時被視為冷凍保護劑的溶劑。等候3天後，他們將詹姆斯的遺體塞在一個聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料盒中進行保存，多年下來詹姆斯陸續被存放在各州的冷凍中心，直到1982年輾轉送到了「生命延長基金會」。

這項「人體冷凍」手術到如今已過去50年之久，詹姆斯早已被許多人判定沒有復活的可能，但在2017年，已經高齡80歲尼爾森卻出面受訪宣布「詹姆斯將在今年甦醒」，預計在今年之內，就能夠將詹姆斯復活。但在宣布消息後尼爾森卻失去了消息，也未再進行聲明，讓許多人猜測，這項實驗最後應該是失敗了。雖然這位全球首例「冷凍人」可能無法復活成功，但這項實驗仍然為人體冷凍技術的創造了重要的里程碑，因此詹姆斯被冰凍的當天，1月12日也被稱為「貝德福德日」。

Death is a topic that we are destined to face, but have you ever thought that we can "suspend" death? Robert Ettinger, who was known as the "father of cryonics technology" in 1964, proposed the concept of cryonics, freezing the body and waiting for future technology to resurrect the "frozen people." James Bedford, an American volunteer, became the first person to freeze his body in 1967. The world's first "frozen man" will be thawed this year, and many people are curious. Can it be resurrected successfully?

Edinger, the "father of cryonics technology", constantly mentions "freezing resurrection" in his most important book, The Future of Immortality. He believes that death is a gradual process. If the body is frozen fast enough, Death can be reversed. The book influenced many people at the time, including James Bedford, who had lung cancer, and Robert Nelson, a 29-year-old plumber.
Plumber Nielsen is deeply fascinated by "human freezing technology" and began to study various resuscitation data, and even became the chairman of the local "Life Extension Society of America". In June 1965, Nielsen took the initiative to write to James, inviting him to be the first person to participate in the "freezing resurrection experiment", and James, who had cancer, could only stay in bed for many years, and he prepared $100,000. After the body's maintenance in the future, the last breath was swallowed on January 12, 1967.

After James passed away, Nielsen and several physicians began the first "human cryotherapy" operation in human history. They first took a cold shower for James, allowing the body to cool, then pumping all the blood in his body and injecting it. A large amount of dimethyl hydrazine, a solvent that was considered a cryoprotectant at the time. After waiting for three days, they stuffed James's body in a styrofoam box for storage. Over the years, James was kept in the freezing centers of the states until 1982 and transferred to the Life Extension Foundation.

This "cylinder" operation has been over 50 years now. James has long been judged by many people that there is no possibility of resurrection. However, in 2017, Nelson, who is 80 years old, has been interviewed and announced that "James will wake up this year." It is expected that James will be resurrected within this year. But after the announcement, Nelson lost the news and did not make a statement, so many people speculated that the experiment should be a failure. Although the world's first "frozen man" may not be resurrected successfully, this experiment still creates an important milestone for cryonics technology, so James was frozen on the same day, also known as "Bedford" on January 12th. Germany and Japan.
