Abstract:  
Background and Aim: One of the new and emerging issues that have been discussed in the last few decades is the freezing of a human body suffering from an incurable disease for reviving with the advancement of science in the future. In order to save their lives, these people are trying to save themselves from certain death caused by their disease, by doing this. The effects that this action has on their legal life have caused scholars to examine the legal effects of this action. In this article, we are looking for the effect of this action on revocable contracts.
Methods: This article is written in a descriptive-analytical way using library resources and referring to scientific books and articles.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, ethical principles and scientific trustworthiness have been respected.
Results: According to jurisprudent, in the dissolution of permissible contracts due to anesthesia, the dissolution of revocable contracts due to Cryonic can be deduced.
Conclusion: Revocable contracts, which are against irrevocable contrasts, are destroyed by the death and incapable of the parties. In relation to a frozen person, despite the fact that she/he is considered alive, valid contracts made before freezing are dissolved. The reason is that, like death or incapable, freeze is not one of the cases of dissolution of contract and it is not specified in the civil code but according to jurisprudent, in the dissolution of permissible contracts due to anesthesia, the dissolution of revocable contracts due to Cryonic can be deduced and as a result, Cryonic, like the condition of a person who has gone into a coma, is the cause of a person's disability and termination of consent and dissolution of the contract.
