According to jurisprudent, in the dissolution of permissible contracts due to anesthesia, the dissolution of revocable contracts due to Cryonic can be deduced.

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.
