Many people believe that a human being's lifespan is predestined and should not be tampered with. The ability to live longer is one of the major goals of the studies in cryonics, and therefore there is a lot of controversy around this topic. Different interpretations of the meaning of death cause much of this controversy, because some people believe that death is when the person's cells and organs have stopped functioning. There are some people who oppose cryonics for the lengthening of the human life span. Since a successful method has not yet been found to resuscitate cryonic patients, these people believe successful cryonics is not possible. The custody of frozen embryos is a growing issue also, because if a married couple decide to cryopreserve their embryo for late and they end up getting a divorce, there is no way to decide who would get the embryo. Who gets the legal right to them?
