Would you cryogenically freeze a relative?

You can't just turn on a brain.

As far as I'm aware brain is more like RAM than hard disk

If it is turned off its wiped? It isn't just a physical structure. It's an active process to maintain a 'person'

That was my thinking so I can't really see a point in the whole exercise!

Only way I can see any of this working is a medically induced coma and then some sort of chilling process rather than total freezing, and even this would be pretty limited.

The person died of something, so you'd have to cure whatever killed them in the first place first to even have a chance of "restarting" them.

We seem quite a long way off curing some diseases in living people, let alone dead people.

Are the companies that did the freezing legally bound to bring the person back to life as soon as it's possible?

I dont think you can draw up any agreement which would bind a company to do that, though i can imagine that a company would have drawn up this clause and that clause giving them the freedom to do what they want just in case. I mean, the people who agree to this stuff are clearly mental, desperate and delusional; it is very easy to trick someone into believing something that they want to believe.
