"I want my body frozen, so I can come back to life"

The Newsroom

Available for over a year

A terminally-ill British teenager, who wanted her body to be frozen so she could one day be revived, has won a historic legal fight shortly before her death. Her body has now been flown to the US to be preserved in liquid nitrogen at very low temperatures. The procedure, called cryonics, costs $28,000. Chrissie de Rivaz has signed up for it. She told us why. (Photo: A stage of the cryonics process practised on a dummy; Credit: Getty Images)
