WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2019 — When you die, many things can be done with your body –– embalming, cremation, donation to science and so on.

This week on Reactions, we break down the chemistry of cryogenic freezing and whether it’s realistic to think we could ever reanimate a frozen corpse: https://youtu.be/Wk2NxBYCe6s.
