Girl, 2, Cryogenically Frozen After Cancer Battle
15 Feb
Summary
- Youngest person to be cryogenically frozen after battling rare brain cancer.
- Parents had daughter's brain and head preserved for future scientific revival.
- A documentary titled 'Hope Frozen' chronicles the family's story.

A young girl, identified by the nickname Einz, became the youngest individual to be cryogenically frozen in January 2015. At just two years old, she succumbed to a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer after undergoing numerous treatments that proved unsuccessful.
Following her passing, Einz's parents, both medical engineers, made the decision to have her head and brain cryogenically preserved. This extraordinary choice was driven by a profound hope that future scientific breakthroughs could potentially revive her and allow her to live again, even if centuries from now.
The poignant story of Einz and her family's decision was captured in the award-winning 2019 documentary 'Hope Frozen.' Directed by Pailin Wedel, the film delves into the philosophical, scientific, and emotional aspects of their experience.
Einz's parents, who reside in Thailand, have expressed their belief in scientific advancement, noting that science facilitated the conception of their children via IVF. They see cryonics as a potential extension of this, offering a chance at life beyond death.
After Einz was pronounced deceased, a specialized team initiated the cryoprotection process, replacing her bodily fluids with antifreeze solutions to prevent tissue damage. Her brain was then transported to Alcor in Arizona, USA, where it is maintained at a temperature of minus 196°C, awaiting potential future revival.
