Terminally Ill Girl Directs Her Body Disposition to Judge

A teenage girl living with terminal cancer has directed her body disposition to a judge in which she wishes to be frozen instead of buried in hopes that one day there is a cure for cancer. She emphasized her beliefs that being cryo-preserved would give her a chance of being woken up and cured in the future. This concept invites several levels of skepticism in the medical community. The judge has granted her wishes as one of the first cases of its kind in England—and perhaps the world. The judge’s order has cleared the way for the girl’s remains to be transported to a United States specialist facility to start the preservation process.
