Several facilities in the US, UK and across the world have morgues full of frozen human heads, bodies and even pets waiting for science to let them live again.

The controversial process of being cryo-preserved has been dubbed a "lottery ticket to immortality" by some hopeful people.

The hope is that people with terminal illnesses could be woken up a time when such diseases and illnesses are curable.

But the goal of cryo is still a long shot - and coming back to life is still not a guarantee.

More than 500 people are floating inside giant thermos bottles filled with liquid nitrogen known as a Dewar.

Inside the chilling chambers, the body is wrapped in several layers of insulating material, and attached to a stretcher with the head angled downwards to keep the brain as cold and as stable as possible.

The corpses lay for years, decades and potentially even centuries as scientists and doctors hunt for the cure to diseases - and ultimately cheat death.

At Cryonics Institute in Clinton Township, Michigan, it costs around £22,000 to be preserved in a -195C liquid nitrogen tank for decades to come.

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

"You get can buried or cremated and we know what happens to the though those people, they won't ever be repaired, rejuvenated, or reversed, back into a healthy age.

"The grave is your only real alternative and that's complete oblivion. So we want to defeat man's greatest enemy - death itself."

Founded in 1976, Dennis' life goal at Cryonics Institute is to "try to alleviate suffering and pain and to help restore life whenever possible".
