Frozen Hope: The Quest for Immortality through Cryonics

Cryonics is meant to offer the chance to extend life or even achieve immortality. This vision is so enticing that every year dozens of people entrust their bodies or brains to companies and organizations specializing in “freezing” people. Yet, there is still a lack of evidence that this method can actually work. While many have undergone cryopreservation, no one has been “revived” from this state.

It’s not surprising, then, that many patients seek ways to extend their lives. One of these ways is cryonics.
