Kumudiniben rightly questions whether cryofreezing is justified. (Asian Voice of 26-11-2016). Many mountaineers are mummified under tons of snow on high altitude mountains, don’t recover after being dug out. Similar fate can meet cryofrozen bodies. Therefore it is right to label the practice as “Hope trade”. Survival after cryofreezing can never succeed as it is focused on physical matter that degenerates irreversibly. But it is possible for cryognic science to include quantum factors and be available to general public.
Such method of prolonged survival are essential for astronauts to reach nearest habitable planet, for research/ settlement, when planet earth may become inhospitable (vide Stephen Hawking).
Hindu practice of yoga gives methods of cessation of ageing/ stalling death to survive 1000s of years. But it needs meditation and stamina. Posthumously, yogi can reassemble elements to manifest in any physical body anywhere in universe. Refer: “Autobiography of a Yogi”, (English) or “Yogi kathamrut” (Hindi) by Paramhansa Yogananda.
Yearning for eternal immortality and devising various means can be atavistic trait innate in life force. In any incarnation, it is locked in five senses of physical matter. Inventing various means to survive can be an expression of super-soul to escape from physical matter.
