Home About Cryonics Cryonics Myths Journal Articles ... Click for Printable Version Our Vision We foresee a time when humanity will achieve complete control over biological processes, including aging. An era in which artificial intelligence and molecular manufacturing will eliminate scarcity, disease, and fixed lifespans as we know them today. An era in which long life, good health, and unlimited potential will be the birthright of every human being. Unfortunately most of us now living were born too soon to see this era. Or were we? From the Greek word "Kryos," meaning "icy cold," cryonics is the process of using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life when medicine today can no longer sustain it, in the hope that future medicine might restore health. Our Mission The Alcor Life Extension Foundation is the world's largest and most advanced provider of cryonics technology. We are a nonprofit corporation with steady growth and financial stability since our inception in 1972. We are based in Scottsdale, Arizona, but our members live all over the world. Our mission: to preserve the physical basis of the human mind for an unlimited span of time. Myths and misconceptions about cryonics have become widespread, largely because of sensationalized news stories. Although the process is still speculative, there are powerful rational and scientific justifications for it. We invite you to explore this site and reach your own conclusions.

Cryonics Cryonics in the news Links to further information Overview The purpose of cryonics is to save lives and restore health. Today's medical technology can't always keep us alive, let alone healthy. A future medical technology based on a mature nanotechnology should be able to preserve life and restore health in all but the most extreme circumstances. Tissue preserved at the temperature of liquid nitrogen does not deteriorate, even after centuries of storage. Therefore, if current medical technology can't keep us alive we can instead choose to be preserved in liquid nitrogen, with the expectation that future medical technology should be able to both reverse any cryopreservation injury and restore good health. A common misconception is that cryonics freezes the dead. As the definition of "death" is "a permanent cessation of all vital functions" the future ability to revive a patient preserved with today's fundamentally better medical technology bury someone alive Evaluating cryonics The major reason that cryonics is not more favorably viewed in the medical community is relatively easy to explain. Medicine relies on clinical trials. Put more simply, if someone proposes a technique for saving lives, the response is "Try it and see if it works." Methods that have not been verified by clinical trials are called "experimental," while methods that have been tried and failed are rejected.

Cryonics Up until the late 20th century, when an individual died, they had two choices: Burial rot in the ground, or Cremation go up in smoke. Now there's a third choice: Cryonics be frozen in the hope that future technology and people will bring you back to life. A few companies are already offering the service. They freeze you slowly, eventually storing you in liquid nitrogen inside a stainless steel canister. You can pay up front, or else you can open a life insurance policy for an equal or larger amount and list the cryonics company as the beneficiary. The costs of storing people are not great. Once you've paid for the stainless steel canister and all the labor, transport, equipment and overhead for getting the deceased from their place of death to the cryonics morgue and into the canister, from that point in time onward the main cost is replacing liquid nitrogen that boils off. That is a very small cost. The cryonics company will have some of your money left over after you're in the canister. They can make money off the interest on the money left over. They can put money into your credit account to compensate for inflation and skim the rest off as profit. Cryonics companies, if set up very well legally and administratively, should be one of the most solid and long-lived businesses of today. You can freeze your whole body or you can save money and freeze just your head. If I recall correctly, the price for freezing your whole body is around US $100,000, but freezing your head costs much less, around $40,000.

5. Cryonics cryonics. That is not dead that can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. HP Lovecraft. cryonics Works, You Live, You are dead. http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Individual/Cryonics/

Transhuman Page Individual Sphere Cryonics That is not dead that can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. H. P. Lovecraft Centuries march by unknown, unknowable from my frozen slumber Mark Dowdey While most transhumanists are quite convinced that life extension will be possible, most agree that it will take several years (or decades/centuries) before immortality becomes practical. And in the meantime there is a non-zero chance that you die from accidents or disease, regardless of how healthy your lifestyle is. One answer to this problem is cryonics , or rather cryonic suspension ; the technique of freezing the body to so low temperatures that it does not decay significantly. If misfortune strikes, you could be suspended until medical techniques have been developed far enough to revive you and cure you. Cryonics is currently a big gamble, and even the enthusiasts acknowledge that there are many unsolved problems. But there is little to loose by choosing cryonic suspension: either it will work and restoration methods will be developed and used in the far future, or it won't: You are suspended You are not suspended Cryonics Works You Live You are dead Cryonics Doesn't Work You are dead You are dead So the rational choice is to use cryonics, even if success is improbable, unless you consider the value of your life times the chance that it might work to be less than the cost of a suspension.

11. Untitled Good basic article on how cryogenic processing works. Author unknown. Date, circa 1998. http://lennon.pub.csufresno.edu/~rlk16/cryo.html

BASICS OF CRYOGENIC METALLURGY Table of Contents (links) Introduction Why Cryogenic Tempering is Important An Overview of How Cryogenics Works Alterations in Metal Structure The Ideal Role of Cryogenic Tempering ... Bibliography Introduction The thermal treatment of metals must certainly be regarded as one of the most important developments of the industrial age. After more than a century, research continues into making metallic components stronger and more wear-resistant. One of the more modern processes being used to treat metals (as well as other materials) is cryogenic tempering. While the science of heat treatment is well known and widely understood, the principles of cryogenic tempering remain a mystery to most people in industry. Information regarding this process is full of contradictions and unanswered questions. Until recently, cryogenic tempering was viewed as having little value, due to the often brittle nature of the finished product. It is only since the development of computer modeled cooling and reheat curves that the true benefits of cryogenically treated materials have become available to industry and the general public. The purpose of this work is not to break new ground in cryogenic science, nor will it answer all of the questions surrounding this process. Rather, this is a condensation of much of the information available concerning the effects cryogenic treatment has on metal stucture, as well as an overview of the actual process involved in treating parts. Also included are theories and conclusions regarding the optimum use of cryogenic tempering on steels, costs and feasability notwithstanding. All information is as up to date as possible, having been gathered from various scientific and industrial databases (no books were harmed during the preparation of this treatise).

Cryonics Association of Australia (CAA) The Cryonics Association of Australia offers support for Australian residents having suspension arrangements, or planning to make such arrangements, with any of the major American cryonics organisations and seeks to promote the concept generally in Australia. What Is Cryonics? Cryonics is the practice of maintaining patients currently classed as legally "dead" at extremely low temperatures for treatment by future medicine. What Does The Procedure Consist Of? Restoration of circulatory and respiratory function with a heart-lung resuscitator (Thumper) and/or heart-lung machine (blood pump and artificial lung). Treatment of the patient with cryoprotectant drugs such as glycerol to minimise damage from the freezing process. Introduction of cryoprotectants is carried out with a heart-lung machine by circulation of a perfusate (blood substitute) carrying the cryoprotectant through the patient's tissues. This procedure is called perfusion. Article - Many are Cold but few are Frozen Graphics by Art for the web

New Zealand Cryonics* Society *Cryonics ; The Science and technology of cryonic suspension. The Case for Cryonics. The central idea of cryonics is simple : if sufficient biological structure in dying patients can be preserved at low temperature today ,then recovery and healing by future medical technology is ( in principle) possible. This proposition is based on diverse but solid evidence from the fields of neurobiology , low-temperature biology, and theoretical engineering. FACT: Persistence of long term memory and personality does not require continuous brain function. Clinical experience demonstrates that memory and personality may be retained in persons who have had prolonged breaks in brain electrical activity. FACT: Ultra-Low Temperatures can preserve fine brain structure indefinitely if the brain is carefully preserved in the first place. FACT: Design outlines are already in place for cell repair technologies which could be used to recover patients retaining such brain structures, even if they are imperfectly preserved. Moreover, the development of these technologies appears inevitable, given the continuing advances in methods

In fact, this ambulance is designed for someone who is already dead. STORY HIGHLIGHTS People Are Doing It Trying to Stop the Damage ... The urgency is to limit the damage dying does to the brain and the body so that someone, someday, can reverse it. People Are Doing It Ninety people in America have been frozen, hoping to be brought back to life when medicine can cure them. At least half of the new cases have been frozen in the past three years. To the handful of companies that charge $28,000 or more to freeze the bodies, they are optimistically called "patients." The Cryonics Institute in Clinton Township currently has 37 people, 10 cats and six dogs frozen in its facility. Its most recent patient came in three days before ABCNEWS' interview with David Ettinger, whose father, Robert, founded the Cryonics Institute.
