Cryonics

Cryonics is the Cryopreservation (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains, with the speculative hope that resurrection may be possible in the future.[1][2]Cryonics is regarded with skepticism within the mainstream scientific community. It is generally viewed as a fringe theory or pseudoscience,[3] and its practice sometimes has been characterized as quackery.[4][5]

This area is devoted to learning, teaching, and research related to cryonics.

"Cryonics, which began in the Sixties, is the freezing – usually in liquid nitrogen – of human beings who have been legally declared dead. The aim of this process is to keep such individuals in a state of refrigerated limbo so that it may become possible in the future to resuscitate them, cure them of the condition that killed them, and then restore them to functioning life in an era when medical science has triumphed over the activities of the Grim Reaper."
