Cryonics

Cryonics is a scientific term for preserving bodies in ice.
Cryonic experiments go back to the 16th century, when Francis Bacon tried to preserve a dead chicken by stuffing it with snow. Unfortunately, this experiment cost him his life when he caught a chill. Since then, cryogenic experiments have been conducted by researchers, but it isn't used much.
