Father of 14-year-old girl cryogenically frozen speaks out: "She died without me being able to see her."

On October 17, a 14-year-old girl, named JS, died in a London Hospital after a long battle with cancer.

She made international news when the High Court allowed JS to be cryogenically frozen after the teenager declared she hoped the technology would allow her to be brought back to life in hundreds of years when her cancer could potentially be cured.

Her body is now being stored in a vat of liquid nitrogen by the Cryonics Institute in the USA.

Since her death two months ago, her father, Mr S, has for the first time spoken about the trauma he has suffered for over the last decade.

The father, who also has cancer, had not seen his daughter since she was six, despite being treated in the same hospital.

Mr S, who is also sick with cancer, told The Telegraph his ex-wife had prevented him from seeing their daughter.

"Last time I saw her was in 2007," he told The Telegraph. "The reason for this is purely her mother's doing - she said no way, full stop. She has caused this sadness between me and my daughter and she died in the end without me being able to see her. It's so sad she didn't let me have any sight of her."

Mr S and his wife separated in 2002, when JS was just a few months old. Throughout her life, he went to court 10 times to fight to see her.

The last time they had contact was when she was six.

"My daughter didn't even know all the court case procedures that I have been so desperately trying to see her. I am so sad about it," he said.

"We have come to the end of the road after my child passed away, what is there left to say? It's all ended, it's finished. Unfortunately it has ended this way."

JS asked a number of family members for money to undergo cryonics, and her maternal grandparents paid almost $46,000.

Family members accuse her of being "brainwashed".

"JS's father didn't know anything at first - the mother wouldn't tell anyone. It was her mum who was driving it. It's not going to work - this cryo thing must be impossible," one cousin said.

"To me, the mum had a problem. They had a bad divorce. She made life hard for JS's father. You know, he was ill and he ended up in the same hospital as JS. He was on a different floor from her for months and he was never told his daughter was so near."

Despite the criticism against the girl's mother, the High Court has maintained the teenager acted reasonably and it was her wish they shouldn't obstruct.

In a letter the 14-year-old wrote to the court, she said she didn't want to die.

"I have been asked to explain why I want this unusual thing done. I’m only 14 years old and I don’t want to die, but I know I am going to. I think being cryo‐preserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up, even in hundreds of years’ time," she said.

"I don’t want to be buried underground. I want to live and live longer and I think that in the future they might find a cure for my cancer and wake me up. I want to have this chance. This is my wish."

The one-of-a-kind ruling dictated that the mother would be responsible for how the girl would be treated post-death.

Acting out of love and respect for her daughter's wishes to be cryogenically frozen, it is reported the mother followed her final requests to ensure she had a peaceful death.
