|
the process of which you freeze someone to preserve their body for future years. Supposedly it is said Walt Disney went through this process, but it's most likely false. This is because when you freeze something or someone, the body expands therefore causing their cell membranes to expand and burst. Then the body becomes mushy because the cell membranes burst and died which then the body cannot be brought back to life.
