Peter Thiel, who co-founded PayPal in 1998, wants his body to be frozen once he dies so that he could be brought back to life in the future. Thiel confirmed signing up for cryonic preservation while speaking on a podcast and called it more of "an ideological statement." The billionaire, however, is unsure if cryogenic preservation will work. In cryogenic preservation, the entire body is protected from decay by storing them at extremely low temperatures just after death.
