Cryogenic sleep, also known as suspended animation or cryosleep, has been one of the core concepts of science fiction for a long time.
The first human to be frozen in this manner died nearly a decade earlier when psychologist James H. Bedford died in 1967 at the age of 73 from kidney cancer.
Alcor, which was founded in 1972, performed its first human cryopreservation in 1976.
Almost 200 people's heads and bodies have been cryopreserved at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation facility in the hopes of being revived later.
Robert Ettinger, known as the cryonics movement's father, is also frozen and stored at the Cryonics Institute, which he founded in 1976, along with his mother, Rhea, and his two wives, Elaine and Mae.
NASA has been working on a cryogenic sleep chamber for astronauts in collaboration with SpaceWorks Enterprises. The "cryosleep" technology works by lowering the astronaut's body temperature to 89-93°F (32-34°C), inducing a state of hibernation. Catheters would be used to supply nutrition and remove waste.
The Southern Hemisphere's first known cryonics facility is located on the outskirts of a tiny rural town in southern New South Wales.
Southern Cryonics' goal is to freeze human remains in liquid nitrogen in the hope that they can be thawed and reanimated in the distant future.
And, this facility is expected to receive its first cryo-guests this year.
