Teenage girl won right to be frozen after dying from cancer.

The terminally ill schoolgirl had her dying request granted after winning a controversial High Court legal battle.



A terminally ill teenager won a historic legal fight to have her body cryogenically frozen in the hope of being brought back to life.

The 14-year-old girl, described as a "bright, intelligent young person", had her wish granted shortly before she died.

The girl had written: "I have been asked to explain why I want this unusual thing done.

"I am only 14-years-old and I don't want to die but I know I am going to die.

"I think being cryo-preserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up - even in hundreds of years' time.

"I don't want to be buried underground. I want to live and live longer and I think that in the future they may find a cure for my cancer and wake me up.

"I want to have this chance. This is my wish."
