With the Advancement of Science and Technology, New Challenges Enter the Legal Field. One of These Advances is Cryonic Technology, Which is a Form of Human Protection. in the Cryonic Process, the Human Body Freezes at Very Low Temperatures (Minus 196 Degrees) to Prevent the Decay of Living Cells. in Fact, With This Process, the Human Body Can be Preserved Until a Cure is Found for Certain Problems and Diseases, And Life Can be Restored to Frozen People. the Present Study, Which Has Been Compiled by Descriptive-Analytical Method, Tries to Compare the Definition of Death and Suicide By Explaining the Process of Human Freezing. The Findings Indicate That There Are Two Views in This Regard: Some Jurists Believe That the Cryonic Process is Not Allowed. Because This Process and Consent to it is in Fact Considered As an Example of Suicide or Suicide and in Line With its Ruling, They Cite Verses and Hadiths That Prohibit Suicide or Suicide. in Contrast, Another Group of Jurists, Based On Various Verses and Hadiths, Including "I Am the Revival of the People", Have Issued a Ruling Authorizing the Cryonic Process. Examining the Evidence and Considering the Concepts of Death, the Stages of Human Life in Terms of Medicine and Suicide, It Becomes Clear That Cryonics is Not Just a Case of Suicide. Rather, It is an Opening to Life, And as a Result, the Process Seems to be a Logical and Justified Solution For the Incurable Patient.
