Cryonics is a proposed method for avoidingthe practice of preserving people who are dying in liquid nitrogen soon after their heart stops. The idea is that most of your brain's information content is still intact right after you've "died", i.e. medical death by using extremely cold temperatures to preserve theor legal death. If humans invent molecular nanotechnology or brain after "medical death" or "legal death" yet before "information death". If the structure of the brain can be preserved,emulation techniques, it it is posited that revival may be possible with future technology.to reconstruct the consciousness of cryopreserved patients.
