Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos, meaning "cold") is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future. [1] [2] Cryonics is regarded with skepticism by the mainstream scientific community.
Human oocyte cryopreservation is a new technology in which a woman's eggs are extracted, frozen and stored. Later, when she is ready to become pregnant, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos .
Promession is an idea of how to dispose human remains by way of freeze drying. The concept of promession was developed by Swedish biologist Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, who derived the name from the Italian word for "promise" (promessa). [1] She founded Promessa Organic AB in 1997 to commercially pursue her idea. [2]
The eggs are immediately frozen. [5] The egg is the largest cell in the human body and contains a large amount of water. When the egg is frozen, the ice crystals that form can destroy the integrity of the cell. To prevent this, the egg must be dehydrated before freezing.
Most liquids freeze by crystallization, formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. This is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition, which means that as long as solid and liquid coexist, the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to the slow removal of heat when in contact with air, which is a poor heat conductor.

In current state of the art, early embryos having undergone cryopreservation implant at the same rate as equivalent fresh counterparts. [2] The outcome from using cryopreserved embryos has uniformly been positive with no increase in birth defects or development abnormalities, [3] [8] also between fresh versus frozen eggs used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
