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.
