Two-year-old Einz became the youngest person in the world to be cryopreserved. Her head and brain now rest in a cryonic tank in Arizona. Before her death, Einz fought cancer bravely, convincing her parents she was determined to live at any cost. Her father, Sahatorn, a Buddhist and PhD laser scientist, hopes she will one day experience rebirth inside a regenerated body.
