First Australian cryogenically frozen for future revival | TVNZ Breakfast

An Australian cryonics company has frozen their first client, with the hope that future medical advancements may one day revive him. The man, in his 80s, passed away in a Sydney hospital before being transported to Southern Cryonics’ facility in Holbrook, New South Wales, where his body was cryogenically preserved at -196°C.

Peter Tsolakides from Southern Cryonics told Breakfast that people will be kept suspended for ‘as long as necessary’ until the science to bring them back is developed. He believes that in a few hundred years, possibly in 100-200 years, the capability to revive people may exist.
