And if in 100 years time they have a cure to bring her back to life, how bizarre would it be for her to then look back on her family's life, seeing when and how her mum, dad, sisters and brother all died, and meeting her siblings great grandchildren who are all older than her? something very unethical about the whole thing, don't think we should be messing with life like this.

Hearts don't work after being frozen, so you'd have to have a transplant or an artificial one amongst many other problems with the process.

reminds me of the film idiocracy where the two experiments are left to thaw out after the facility goes bust
 They probs just told her thats what they would do then after she died cremated her |

She's being kept in Minnesota in America but is British, tbh, I never knew people were doing this, but apparently 10 other Brits have done it.
So if she was brought back to life in 2116 and died in 2169, her death certificate would say born in 2002, died in 2168...aged 67 or 167 ? |

Utter nonsense. One 14 year old's ludicrous death wish. Whilst 120,000 children will be homeless in the UK this Xmas . Have we all gone mad ? |

saw it on Startrek Next generation. three tools get thawed out in the future. one a stockbroker, one a musician and the third was a housewife. like the three bears?
She must be really scared to do that? Not showing any faith in a possible afterlife with Jesus. pickle me quick in green goo. |

Have to agree with Scandi here, unethical and cannot understand why it is allowed.

it's a sad story all round.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/18/father-of-cryogenically-frozen-girl-she-died-without-me-being-ab/ one big problem is how can a cryogenics company offer and appropriately price revival when they don't know what it means or what it involves or whether future societies will consider it ethical. |

Mr S, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is also suffering from cancer, and spent months in the same hospital as his daughter, JS, without ever being told she was there.

Maybe she can be thawed out but shes still dead. Surely she would have to frozen whilst still alive.. |

There's a bit of a dispute about where the money came from, so the account has been frozen.

Frankly Zorro..I would have more faith in being thawed out in future...than any afterlife. cruso • November 18, 2016 10:47 PM GMT If shes dead, how do you bring her back to life ?

Interesting point cruso, she would have to be froen while still alive, surely One good thing about this it will make the process of death easier for her psychologically since she believes she will be woken up and cured one day.  I take it she is incurable. |

It must be incredibly hard for this 14 year old girl to accept death
All her friends will be preparing for life, it is a hard cross to carry, she must feel life is very unfair. She has all my sympathy. If we go back to the 19th century death in childhood was quite common. I watched the 'Dark Angel' mini series on ITV1. Because death was so common among both adults and children, the eponymous anti heroine, was able to get away with poisoning a great many of her husbands and children for their insurance money, people did not think it was unusual She was eventually caught and hanged of course. |
