In China, scientists from a private institute are currently working on the method of cryonics to bring dead people back to life.

In front of the amazed eyes of schoolchildren who have come to visit the institute, the director brings a goldfish back to life by cryogenicizing it. Plunging the bodies into cold water allows them to be preserved and then brought back to life. In this institute, it is not only the fish that are cryogenized, since since 2015, 12 volunteers have also been in tanks where the temperature is -196 degrees. The first person to have the opportunity to be cryopreserved was 49 years old and suffered from incurable cancer.

The solution is not yet developed and according to researchers, it would take another 20 to 30 years to be able to rely on this particular method. Some point the finger at the fact that even by cryogenics, diseases are not cured. According to them, if you can’t cure an incurable cancer, then it’s useless to resuscitate.
