An unexpected dying request has resulted in a Sydney man being cryogenically frozen in a groundbreaking Australian move.
  • In short: A cryonics company has frozen its first client in Australia in the hope of bringing him back to life in the future.
  • The client, a man in his 80s, died in Sydney before being frozen at minus 200 degrees Celsius at a Holbrook facility.
  • What’s next? The cryonics facility is expecting higher demand as its membership base ages, although it’s still unknown whether anyone preserved this way can ever be revived.

      If the future has the technology to revive you, it has the technology to de-age you. So don’t worry, you are either not waking up at all (most likely), or waking up young.
