Australia has a facility where dead bodies are frozen, hoping science can bring them back
- An Australian facility is storing dead people at -196°C, hoping future technology can bring them back to life.
- Southern Cryonics in New South Wales has seven people suspended in liquid nitrogen after they paid for cryonic preservation.
- The process begins soon after death, using antifreeze-like chemicals to protect cells before bodies are placed in giant tanks.
- The treatment costs more than $200,000, but scientists say reviving a frozen human remains unproven and currently impossible.
