"Contrary to popular belief, Disney was cremated —not frozen. After decades of speculation, his family finally decided they were tired of the rumor mill. In 2012, Disney’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, told the Daily Mail that part of the reason the Disneys opened the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco was to combat some of the ridiculous rumors about her father’s life, including the Walt-cicle tall tale. “Other little kids would say to my kids, ‘Your grandfather is frozen, isn’t he?’ And I couldn’t let that stand,” Disney Miller said.
That little myth probably got started in 1972, when Bob Nelson, then the president of the Cryonics Society of California, gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times. Though what he specifically said was that Walt was not cryogenically frozen, even going so far as to say, “They had him cremated. I personally have seen his ashes,” what people likely remembered from the article was his statement that Walt wanted to be frozen."
I still believe that what the parents in the OP have done is sick - even more so when I read that only the brain had been frozen. How the heck do they intend for that to ever be resurrected? It is just barbaric.

I think the parents are at risk of making themselves miserable living in false hope. There comes a point where the best thing to do is to let go, even every instinct to love your child says you don't want to.

Re: Parents cryonically freeze three year old child who dies of cancer
pets - that always gets the british up in arms - is there any evidence of frozen pets brought back to life and can instantly recognize their owners or have to be re-introduced all over again as a new owner?? - just a thought - surely it would be safer and cheaper to do some research with our deceased pets rather than our deceased kids??will the mods 'freeze' this thread in the end??
Don't think so, not when you just put another log on the fire.

I think I agree with you Julie. We don't know exactly what happened because we weren't present, but sometimes I do feel that some procedures are more for the scientists benefit than the families.

Re: Parents cryonically freeze three year old child who dies of cancer
Sounds like "The man with two brains"Has a brain transplant ever been succesful? If so was it with a living brain?
Ok I'm comparing to a computer now,
does the brain have a "hard drive"?
Does it have "ROM"?
'Cos if it's all in "RAM" then all data and operating system are lost on power down.
But if it is possible, could I choose the body?
