Category:Cryostasis

Cryostasis, also known as coldsleep or cryogenic sleep, is the process of deep freezing an organism for reversible preservation. Although freezing of a person is known to cause irreversible damage or even death, there have been reported cases where a person could be frozen for a lengthy period and revived after. There are theories that through science, a person can be frozen to suspended animation to be awakened in the far future, this stops all bodily functions of the subject, even halting changes in the brain. Fortunately, this is much easier in fiction where freezing can work as the creator wants, even wrapping them in ice can work just like cryostasis.
