Quick-Freezing the Dead

Also known as the Cryonics movement, "quick-freezing" the dead is a method that some scientists have experimented with in hope of achieving the phenomenon of resurrection. Robert Ettinger was the brain behind the Cryonics movement. He himself has been frozen in liquid nitrogen (the material used to keep subjects frozen) and was the first "test subject". He was frozen at 92 years of age, in the hope that with various advancements in technology and science he would some day be revived and cured of his illnesses. Ettinger prefered the term "Immortalist" for people who chose this path for their bodies. Many scientists believe that "neurological suspension" (freezing of the brain and head) is the only way to preserve indefinite life.
