Cryotherapy
WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY?
Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is a treatment that uses cold temperatures to treat an injury or medical condition. It includes using cold packs or ice packs to reduce pain and swelling.
WHO SHOULD NOT USE CRYOTHERAPY?
Cryotherapy is not safe for people who cannot tell you if they are in pain, such as small children and people who have dementia. Cryotherapy is also not safe for people with certain conditions, such as:
• Raynaud phenomenon.
• Cold hypersensitivity.
• Numbness or loss of feeling in the area being iced.
Cryotherapy may or may not be safe for people with certain other conditions. Do not use cryotherapy without your health care provider's approval if you have:
• A heart condition.
There are some diseases which cannot have the pain properly managed. The awful suffering of these human beings, and the distress that their families, who have to look on helplessly enduring, it is a tragic situation. A situation like that can be prevented to a large extent by Voluntary Euthanasia. Any decent and caring person should not allow others to suffer when their pain can be ended if they wished
take doctors’ advice seriously and can change their lives entirely. This is not the way to go because even with the choice of euthanasia, there is still the opinions of others which persuade and affect you which sometimes you cannot control.
Ice pack therapy is a treatment of cold temperatures to an injured area of the body.

Firstly people with the diagnosis of terminal illness can face horrible mental and physical pain up until the point they die. Risks, such as
that method is absolutely cruel and painful, the veterinary method is not pain free either.
Frankly, it isn't ethical to keep a dying person alive when someone who is recovering from an illness or trauma could be benefiting from the money being poured into the dying person. Consequently, it is unethical to throw away the life of someone who is young and recovering from an illness or trauma to keep a person alive longer than their natural
Ethically, the Dachau hypothermia experiments were a calamitous endeavor and the scientists doing the experiments knew what they were doing was wrong. Before the Allied forces took the concentration camps the Nazi scientists “In an attempt to conceal the atrocities, the original, incriminating records of most of the concentration-camp studies of humans were destroyed before the camps were captured by the Allied forces” (Berger 1435). This proves that the doctors were not shrouded by the memorization of Nazi propaganda. They knew what they were doing was a clear violation of human rights. In the experiments the doctors would take the patients, “They were usually stripped naked and
It is wrong even though it means it will lead them out of their suffering it will mean death for that person which is even worser.In “Article B” it states that:”Suffering is more easily accepted by the patient who really has a painful disease than by the neurotic person who produces his misery and pain by emotional processes. Even the incapacitated, agonized patient,in despair most of the time, may still get some joy from existence.”This shows how a person born with this disease actually feels joy within themselves to be alive. Nobody should be taken away their lives, simply because they were born different with this disease they actually are grateful that they are still alive. It also states that:”The person's mood will change by time between longing for death and fear for death”. This further shows how the person with the disease actually doesn't want to die the person starts to develop a fear for
Mr. Smith’s multiple medical conditions should be considered before administering N2O-O2 sedation. The clinician should check to see if he is on any medications dealing with his hypertension or diabetes that will contraindicate any portion of the procedure. However, Mr. Smith’s advanced COPD should be the first thing addressed because it is an absolute contraindication for N2O-O2 sedation. The clinician should explain that N2O-O2 sedation could potentially cause Mr. Smith to stop breathing. I found the following link to be a great piece of information the clinician could use to explain to Mr. Smith why N2O-O2 sedation wouldn’t be beneficial for him. The information can be found on page 4 under contraindications. What other issues do you think
I personally do not want to be a cryo patient. I feel like it would not be worth it. I do not think that being frozen is something I want to happen to me. Waking up in the future and not having your family around would be weird. You would have to make new friends and possibly a new family, and I think that would be hard for me. Knowing that everything in the world is different now would be pretty hard to get use to. There is going to be so many more things that I would have to learn to do over again. Such as, walking, talking, and doing so many other things that you do in your daily life. It is also not even guaranteed to work. So I think that putting so much time and effort into this would be sort of a waste of time for everyone. You are basically
Cryonics is one of the best methods of long term stabilization of a critically ill person, who is seeking to be cured by future medicines. Throughout the history of cryonics there have been repetitive discourses whether substance obsession can be viewed as a trustworthy or even predominant option. Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current innovation, the expressed method of reasoning for cryonics is that individuals who are viewed as dead by law may not necessarily be dead according to more precise theoretic meaning of death. It is suggested that cryopreserved individuals may some time or another be saved by future technology. (Wolf)
There are many reasons to not preserve your body to go to the future. People are spending $30,000- $150,000 to be cryogenically frozen and the science hasn't even been proved to work. Scientists have tested this idea on rats and dogs and most f the time the animals die within for hours of being frozen. A human body can only be in extreme cold temperatures for a hour before they have hypothermia and die.
Based on my opinion I would prefer to not be cryogenically frozen. I do believe that there are pros and cons to cryogenics. I would rather go back in time and live that lifestyle around the late 40s. Although having people being frozen and sent to the future could help project from the past. We do have to take in that this may just be a waste of space in the future and present. Cryogenics has pros and cons no matter how people feel about it.
Voluntary euthanasia may be looked down upon within active medical practices, although in some cases, the view of passive euthanasia is morally acceptable. For instance, within common life-threating illnesses, a patient will take extreme measures into
