Proponents of Cryonics claim to be able to preserve the human body from biological decay by cooling it to the temperature of liquid Nitrogen.

They pump blood out of bodies after death and replace it with "cryoprotectants" (antifreeze) to help prevent ice crystal damage to physical tissues, especially the brain. Then a body is gradually cooled in an insulated unit where it can be maintained almost indefinitely, they say. Alcor is one of the only two companies in the United States that specializes in the cryogenic preservation of the clinically deceased.

That being said, the cooling and vitrification process creates fractures inside the body's tissues, and the use of antifreeze actually damages the cells, so it is an imperfect preservation at best. I'm not sure, but it may be good enough to prevent information-theoretic death, and to preserve some of the individual structures in the brain, like the parts responsible for memory and consciousness.

Cryonics is probably not a good option to bet your life on (at $30,000 to $100,00) until processes are further refined and improvements in nanotechnology and/or other fields make it possible to attempt what they propose, or at least to make such an idea feasible beyond the realm of science fiction.

Obey Almighty god, Jehovah, and He will grant you a new body...after Armageddon...That will never die.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
(Job 33:25) Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.’
(Isaiah 35:6) At that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness. For in the wilderness waters will have burst out, and torrents in the desert plain.

Well some Russian guy did a great job on Lenin and many Russian mobsters pay big money to have a similar process done. Unfortunately I hear it costs big bucks.

Yes, for a fee, professional embalmers can take out your guts, inject chemicals into your arteries and veins, and plasticize you all over. Why would you want to do this?

there are cryogenic labs that sell that service. Very high price but if it works, you can rot away 200 years later! :)
