  • Introduction: Introduction: Cryonics is derived from the Greek word Kryos meaning cold or freezing at low temperatures. Cryonics is a technique in the hope that the scientific practice of the future will one day resurrect legal dead people and bring them back to youth and health. This technique involves extracting blood and then cooling the corpses to a liquid nitrogen temperature, usually −196 ° C or −320.8 ° F or 77.1 Kelvin, in which the storage of a human or beheaded body is stopped from decay. It is said that the person kept in such a state is a frozen patient because the creators of this technique do not necessarily consider the frozen person dead.
  • Methods: Materials and Methods: In this review study, searches were conducted in the electronic and scientific databases of PubMed, Medline, Google scholar, Scopus and ISI, and valid articles related to the subject were searched using the keywords Cryonics and Freezing.
  • Results: Results: Certainly, with the progress of this technique, a new step can be taken in the discussion of immortality. Also, research in this area could make it possible to preserve some specimens of endangered species such as animals and plants.
  • Conclusion: Conclusion: Low temperature slows down biological time and effectively stops at liquid nitrogen temperature. For humans, freezing is a means of achieving a biologically stable state that is essentially reversible. Preservation of cells, tissues, and organs by Cryonics suspension can transfer a mortal patient to future medical technology and immortalize the individual.
