So far, the remains of 199 people are stored there in liquid nitrogen that keeps the bodies at -275 degrees Fahrenheit – a temperature so cold it stops all cellular function and preserves their state until defrost.

Dr Miriam Stoppard, a critic of cryogenics, says that it “robs the dying of their dignity.” 

But it is worth noting that if terminal patients wish to live longer, and the science of Cryonics can make it happen, it seems wrong to deny anyone their last request to save their own lives.
