Parents hope ‘frozen’ child will live again – BBC News
A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

Just watched this very sad documentary 😢 I feel for this family and their lost love ❤, I hope and pray this family finds the TRUTH about death and be assured that they will see their baby girl again but for now search and pray for that truth or you will never find contentment, happiness neither peace the wait will never end 😢

I just watched the film on this little girl Hinz . It is very very sad I think to lose a child at any age , and even more so to lose from an incurable disease.
That aside, I personally would want a proper burial and then to grieve and try and get on with life . And remember the short time they had with their daughter . And I don’t think they are allowing themselves to properly grieve by having her frozen in the very very slim hope that one day they will all be reunited . Sadly life does end . As the saying goes the only certainty’s in life is death and taxes . R. I. P little Hinz ❤

She's such a beautiful child, but this is SO WRONG! They're playing with God's beautiful creation!
They're Buddhists, and it's very important for them to care for the lives of the people all around them than to prolong or extend death is imminent. What were they thinking!
By the way, what's the use of the family wanting to bring back their daughter, when they'd not even be here with her? If she does come back, wouldn't she also be grieving for them! Then what happens next?
Would they want their daughter to be hurting a second time! If so, then certainly, that's NOT L❤VE but stupidity!

I just watched the Netflix documentary. It shows them visiting the Alcron site and then the older brother interviewing people on the likelihood of bringing someone cryogenically frozen back to life – he seems quite sceptical in the end.
I can understand why the parents did what they did but I wonder if they really needed to make their daughter undergo 12 different surgeries, physiotherapy etc within a year. They didn't want to give up of course but when she was diagnosed the doctors told them from the beginning there was almost 0 chance of survival. So they didn't have to put her through all of this.
The other thing I found shocking was that their teenage son was present when his sister was being prepped for cryogenic freezing after she passed away. So he saw how her body was dehydrated, the head cut off etc. Noone should have to see this being done to a loved one.

It why I transferred out of the ER. You see people with relatively perfect bodies doing drugs, ETOH living forever. Some other those people are utter horrible humans. Yet you see people who did nothing get a raw deal like this little girl and her family.
@ladyzerima3442
January 6, 2024 at 2:59 pm
I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm very sorry for their loss but you have to love them enough to let go as hard as that is. I think it's not fair to the child because she is in limbo not alive but not dead. What about her soul? How can she find peace in limbo like that?

When you love somebody and they believe in something else and you know it's not the right religion it's you must tell him the truth nothing but the truth. You must tell him that there is a God because there is that would make you a liar for the Lord says love one another. Now if they choose not to believe in if they choose not to believe in God. Then you respect that and wishing the very best. …. I don't mean you can't love them.

Once you are dead….you are DEAD. There is no spirit there in that body. It’s gone forever. There’s no coming back. But if she were frozen while she was alive……
@deeprollingriver52
January 6, 2024 at 2:59 pm
I’m sure they can’t bear to let her go. If you freeze someone for years or centuries and they wake up, they still have a destroyed brain from the tumor.

I would hope they have another child whether their own or another little flower that they can shower their love into. Maybe an orphan but one that will love their new Mummy and Daddy. Not a pair who are recruiting for the something that the future might hold for them after death. X

All children born may possibly die young. Everyone trying to to get pregnant already knows this. Step back and think for a moment. If the grief of loosing them would drive you into eccentricity, and a depression that invades you and your loved ones, maybe you shouldn’t have any in the first place.
