      Hi, Great question, In the Austin Powers Movies this may be true however in real life unfortunately this is not possible. Freezing a person or large animal is possible by a process known as cryopreservation, however this is currently not a reversable process,. The process occurs almost immediately after a person is declared legally dead and only a few hundred have undergone such a process.
