Cryonics
Cryonics refers to the preservation of legally dead people or animals at low temperature (below _200'F, _130'C) so that future science can restore them to a healthy, youthful state. Advocates of using cryonics to extend life and youth are called cryonicists. Many scientists and doctors view cryonics with skepticism, discounting it as a science fiction fantasy. However, not everyone wants to put the deep freeze on this futuristic practice. Supporters say cryonics is based on projections of future technology, including molecular nanotechnology and nanomedicine.
