Imagine a future where you can be declared legally dead, frozen, stored in liquid nitrogen, and brought back to life 200 years later. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right?

But at the Southern Cryonics facility in NSW, Peter Tsolakides believes this could be a reality. The idea of cryonics, freezing bodies in the hope of revival, has seen significant advancements, although many remain sceptical.

While the science behind cryonics remains unproven, there is a growing interest in it. Last month, a mother desperately sought funds to cryonically preserve her 13-year-old son after his tragic death.

Despite the ethical debates and the hefty price tag of $150,000 to $200,000, the cryonics industry is thriving. Southern Cryonics in Australia, for instance, has seen a rise in members who are optimistic about the future and eager to live long lives.

However, experts like Dr. Marcus Dabner caution that reviving complex organisms like humans is still a distant dream. The brain, in particular, poses a significant challenge in the cryopreservation process.

While cryonics enthusiasts remain hopeful, the scientific and technical hurdles are vast. The idea of coming back from the dead may still be a fantasy.
