The grieving father of a terminally-ill teenage girl who was cryogenically frozen following a landmark legal case spoke of his ordeal for the first time last night. The freezing process was carried out 'quite swiftly' after the teenager's death, said Ms Fleetwood. There is also a large body freezing facility it Russia. The body is then cooled down to about 0.5 degrees Celsius every hour until the final temperature of -196 degrees C achieved over three weeks then the frozen body is stored. In fact, if they are to survive, frozen cells are not 'frozen' - they must contain no ice crystals, which would otherwise invariably kill them.
