A company is offering people the chance to freeze their bodies after death.

Alcor, a firm from the US state of Arizona, market themselves as world leaders in cryonics – the process of freezing a body after death so it can be brought back to life.
Corpses and brains are frozen in liquid nitrogen after a person dies with the hope of restoring them to full health in the event that technology allows humans to be brought back to life in the future.
A full-body preservation at Alcor costs an eye-watering $200,000 but the company's CEO Max More claims that the procedure is actually affordable for many.
He said: "Most people think: ‘I don’t have $80,000 or $200,000 lying around’ but neither did I when I signed up.
"I signed up as a student in England, quite poor. Almost everyone, well the vast majority of our members pay through life insurance.
"So for the vast majority of people, it's actually quite affordable. If you can afford to go out to Starbucks every couple of days for a coffee, you can afford cryonics."
