A German startup offers to freeze your body for $200,000 and wake you up in the future.

The company uses liquid nitrogen at a temperature of –196 °C (–320.8 °F), effectively putting the body on "pause" in the hope that future technologies will be able to bring a person back to life.

Currently, nearly 1,000 clients have already signed contracts, many of whom are paying for the service through insurance payouts.

This is more of a bet on the achievements of future science than a guarantee, but many are willing to pay large sums for a second chance.
