چکیده

Background and Aim: Cryonics or cryopreservation is one of the newest topics in biomedicine and has been able to keep incurable patients with some hope of recovery. Considering that in cryobiology, the heart and brain and all body mechanisms are stopped and bringing people back to life is currently not a practical possibility, we are faced with the question of whether it is permissible to freeze incurable patients from a jurisprudential point of view or not? In this research, we intend to discuss the permissibility or impermissibility of cryobiology by analyzing the nature of freezing. Materials and Methods: This research has been carried out by descriptive and analytical method and using library tools. First the nature of freezing and then the jurisprudential validity or invalidity of freezing has been discussed. Findings: The examination of Shari'i evidence shows that, considering that the freezing of a patient is considered a type of death that can be proven in the theory of unstable death, and currently there is no practical possibility to revive such people, the freezing of incurable patients is not allowed from the Shari'a point of view.
