This work focuses on the 21st-century medical myth about the application of cryonics. Strong freezing, under strict technological control, keeps the body in a state of stagnation, awaiting its future return to life. The limits and restrictions of organic chemistry are overcome, opening up new paths, thanks to genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, and nanotechnology. The dipole life-death is differentiated(?), while the concept of life and time changes and the human becomes non-mortal through waiting.
