In short: A cryonics company has frozen its first client in Australia in the hope of bringing him back to life in the future.

The client, a man in his 80s, died in Sydney before being frozen at minus 200 degrees Celsius at a Holbrook facility.

What's next? The cryonics facility is expecting higher demand as its membership base ages, although it's still unknown whether anyone preserved this way can ever be revived.

Sign me up for mineralization, infinitely cooler than being freezer-burned nasty soup

Good news, everybody! Turning your cremation ashes into diamonds is pretty close to being mineralized? https://www.lonite.com/cremation-diamonds-from-ashes they claim close to 99.99% ash carbon, but who knows.
