                                   Frozen Patients?
     There often come interesting reports from scientists studying the past in the cold-
est parts of the world: Greenland, Alaska, Siberia. Arctic and Antarctic. They find
prehistoric animals frozen in the ice. The pieces of flora and fauna look alive, but
they are not. They were frozen many thousand years ago; thanks to very low tempera-
ture they were preserved to this day.
     Not long ago Russian scientists discovered a large animal called a mastodon. The
precious finding looked much the same as an elephant, but was larger, and had much
hair. It was a great sight to see.
     In 1984, American scientists working near the North Pole found an ancient man
frozen in the ice. Thanks to the Arctic cold his body looked the same. It did not
change.
     The facts about frozen relics are very interesting for medicine, and may be a key
to a well known problem of incurable diseases. There are some patients who are very
ill, and no one can cure them. There is no medicine for them yet.
     Maybe, these patients can be frozen until there is medicine to help them?
