Can You Freeze Yourself and Come Back to Life?
James Bedford was the first person to be cryogenically frozen in 1967 in order to cheat death. The process of cryopreservation, as studied by cryobiology, is difficult, as damage can occur when trying to lower the temperature. Despite research into cold-tolerant animals and vitrification techniques, cryonics cannot currently preserve a human body indefinitely and the dream of cryonics is still on ice.
