A 14-year old girl who died of cancer has been
cryogenically frozen in the hope she could be brought back to life in the
future after winning a landmark court case shortly before her death, the BBC
reported on Friday.
It said the girl was supported in her wish to be
preserved by her mother but not by her father.The BBC said a High Court judge
ruled that the girl's mother should be allowed to decide what happened to the
body.
The girl, who lived in the London area, cannot be
named for legal reasons.When she died in October her body was taken to the
United States and preserved there, the BBC added.
Cryonics is the practice or technique of
deep-freezing the bodies of those who have died of an incurable disease, in the
hope of a future cure.
