Those who wish to be reborn at some point in the future will have the opportunity to turn this seemingly far-fetched idea into reality for around $150,000.

According to Sputnik (Russia), a company in Australia has offered a body preservation service for the deceased, aiming to help them be reborn in the future. Specifically, the bodies will be preserved in a liquid nitrogen tank at a temperature of approximately -198 degrees Celsius until science progresses to the point where they can be brought back from the dead.
The nonprofit organization behind this project is Southern Cryonics, headquartered in Sydney, while the body preservation facility is located in Holbrook, New South Wales. According to media reports, in the initial phase of the project, Southern Cryonics can preserve a maximum of 40 bodies. The company also plans to expand its capacity to preserve 600 bodies after constructing additional facilities. The cost for each opportunity for rebirth can reach up to $150,000.
The company hopes that at some point in the future, significant advancements in medical technology will help to “repair” the damage caused by aging and disease to the human body. However, media outlets suggest that “there are no guarantees, and participants in the project are unlikely to receive refunds.”
Mr. Shannon Tessier, a researcher in body preservation technology at Massachusetts General Hospital, believes that currently, there is no scientifically proven method or technology that can preserve human bodies at such temperatures without completely destroying the tissues.
