    Never mind trying to restore someone who died, fact is they had an illness to which they died - there is no cure for death, so you would surely be better being frozen long before the cancer kills you.
    If they got you in the moment you died before the brain lost all its oxygen?


    Anyway there was a documentary about this kind of stuff. It's called Futurama.

    £35K you say, Tata Frozen Futures say their doings are far cheaper and guarantee a full happy ending satisfactory result.

    More likely to be defrosted, microwaved and served with Fava beans, looking at the future of humanity.

    Because they can. My worry would be that I was one of the early test subjects and they made a mess of reviving me. TBH I would be happy with a robot body with a laser.

    This is how the human race will eventually colonise the nearest planets capable of supporting life.

    Post the deep frozen bodies on a one way trip, in a craft programmed to enter orbit around the target planet, and by the time the craft arrives the earthlings will have mastered intergalactic space travel for artificial lifeforms (that can survive the trip a lot easier than humans), get there first and with all the know how to revive the 'corpses'.

    That, or it's a great scam to fleece mugs of £37k with no intention of doing anything other than making frozen pet mince with the bodies once all living relatives have croaked it or also gone into the freezer.

    Slave labour. No need for minimum wage if they're legally dead.

    You do not need to do this.

    Simply sign up to oPM's Multiverse and Time Travel Emporium

    For a small one off fee when you die someone from a different parallel universe will come and revive you from a one of the multiverses that has a cure for your ailment.

    I can see a future episode of Storage Wars here.
