    No.

    Cryogenics is not a working science.

    It is science-fiction.

    The ability of scientist to freeze an entire human being is not yet realized. To freeze an entire human body would require a way to instantly freeze the entire human body at the same time, without doing damage to the cell wall membranes. Even if I jumped in a lake of liquid oxygen, my outside would freeze before my inside would. This causes cell damage that makes reanimating a frozen body impossible using today’s scientific know-how. Today it is not possible. A 100 years from now……….who knows?

    No

    Cryogenics has not been successfully completed.

    In the future, yes.
