1. Cryonics Institute -- What Is Cryonics? A Brief Introduction The why of cryonics, as understood by the cryonics Institute. http://www.cryonics.org/reprise.html

[Repeat if necessary] What is cryonics? Cryonics Cryonicists are people who use or advocate cryonics in the hope of greatly extending life and youth. Most diseases, including the progressive deterioration known as "getting old", are the result of damage to organs, tissues, cells and cellular components. With enough progress of medicine and molecular repair capability, all diseases should eventually be curable, including aging. Medicine in the future should be able to restore and maintain people in a condition of youth and health. Cryonics could be a lifeboat (or "first aid") to future medicine. Because it is based on speculation about the capabilities of future science cryonics is not a science. Few scientists are qualified to say whether future science can or cannot realize the dream that motivates cryonics because scientists are only trained in current science. Many outstanding scientists have made false predictions about future technology. In 1885 Lord Kelvin declared that "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." A couple of decades ago nearly all scientists believed that cloning is impossible. Conversely, cryonicists cannot guarantee that cryonics will work. Only the future will tell whether the predictions of cryonicists are correct. If cryonics works and a person has not been cryopreserved, that person has no chance of ever being restored to an enduring youthful and healthy condition. If cryonics does not work at any moment in time, it may be made to work in the future. Those who have been cryopreserved will simply wait.

If you have an emergency situation, click here. "Your Last Best Chance For Lifeand Your Family's." The Cryonics Institute offers cryopreservation services and information. As soon as possible after legal death, a member patient is infused with a substance to prevent ice formation, cooled to a temperature where physical decay essentially stops, and is then maintained indefinitely in cryostasis (ie, stored in liquid nitrogen). When and if future medical technology allows, our member patients hope to be healed, rejuvenated, revived, and awakened to a greatly extended life in youthful good health, free from disease or the aging process.

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.

Cryonics is the science of using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life with the intent of restoring good health when technology becomes available to do so. Alcor is a non-profit organization located in Scottsdale, Arizona, founded in 1972. What Cryonics Is Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. It is expected that future medicine will include mature nanotechnology, and the ability to heal at the cellular and molecular levels. What Cryonics Is Not Cryonics as practiced by Alcor is not an interment method or mortuary practice. Alcor intervenes in the dying process as soon as possible after legal death to preserve the brain as well as possible. Alcor seeks to prevent loss of information within the brain that encodes memory and personality identity, which is the true boundary between life and death. Cryonics and Religion Cryonics is an attempt to preserve and protect the gift of human life. The purpose of cryonics is to maintain life, not reverse death. Lack of legal status as a person does not imply lack of moral status as a person. The spiritual status of cryonics patients is the same as frozen human embryos, or unconscious medical patients. When properly examined, cryonics has been endorsed by both

Cryonics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the study of the production of very low temperatures, see Cryogenics Technicians prepare a patient for cryopreservation. Cryonics (from Greek kryos- meaning icy cold ) is the low-temperature preservation of humans and animals who can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine , with the hope that healing and resuscitation may be possible in the future. Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current technology. The stated rationale for cryonics is that people who are considered dead by current legal or medical definitions may not necessarily be dead according to the more stringent information-theoretic definition of death It is proposed that cryopreserved people might someday be recovered by using highly advanced future technology. The future repair technologies assumed by cryonics are still hypothetical and not widely known or recognized. Cryonics is, therefore, regarded with skepticism by most scientists and physicians, although some do support it. As of 2010, only around 200 people have undergone the procedure since it was first proposed in 1962.

Click for Printable Version Problems Associated with Cryonics (and some possible solutions) When you buy a house, the seller is legally obliged to disclose any known defects. When you review a company's annual report, it tells you every problem that could affect the corporate share value. Since arrangements for cryopreservation may have a much greater impact on your life than home ownership or stock investments, we feel an ethical obligation to disclose problems that affect cryonics in general and Alcor specifically. We also believe that an organization which admits its problems is more likely to address them than an organization which pretends it has none. Thus full disclosure should encourage, rather than discourage, consumer confidence. Startup Status Alcor was founded more than thirty years ago . As of 2009, our Patient Care Trust Fund Alcor shares some of the characteristics of startup companies. The organization is understaffed in some important areas and lacks as much capitalization as would be desired to support maximum growth. Limited resources prevent the organization from hiring as many highly qualified and experienced personnel as desired, and sometimes we have to postpone enhancements to equipment and procedures. Because Alcor must react quickly to circumstances, it cannot always handle multiple tasks simultaneously. We feel a significant impact if, for example, several members experience legal death in quick succession. A heavy caseload generally means that administrative and even technical development work is postponed while member emergencies take precedence.

Box 1509, Cupertino, CA 95015 cryonics@americancryonics.org “Walt Disney was frozen” As far as we know Walt Disney was never frozen.  He was interested in cryonics and had apparently made inquiries prior to his death which may account for the widespread perception that Walt was the first cryonaut. “The frog in the cement” There is an urban legend about frogs accidentally dumped into cement mix when the concrete for a drive way was laid down.  Many years later when the concrete was removed by jackhammer, the workmen observed the frogs “coming back to life” and hopping happily away.  If you have any further information on this purported phenomenon please let us know! We have not been able to confirm or repute this legend, though it seems unlikely.  Frogs can withstand unusual extremes of dryness and cold giving them a kind of “suspended animation” of their own. “There are tens of thousands of people in suspension” No, there are fewer than 200 people in cryostats worldwide.  Because cryonics gets so much publicity there is a public perception that it is a lot more widely practiced.

Cryonicists do not believe that legal death is real death (irreversible destruction of the anatomical basis of mind) any more than conventional medicine now accepts that cessation of heartbeat is "real death", when the heart can be restarted with a defibrillator. The basis of cryonics is that at cryogenic temperatures there will be no alteration in biological tissue for thousands of years, which allows plenty of time for future medicine to achieve the required capabilities. The process is not currently reversible, and by law can only be performed on humans after legal death. Cryonics is viewed with skepticism by most scientists and doctors today. However, there is a high representation of scientists among cryonics supporters. Scientific support for cryonics is based on projections of future technology, especially molecular nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Some scientists believe that future medicine will enable molecular-level repair and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs decades or centuries in the future. Disease and aging are also assumed to be reversible.

[Repeat if necessary] CRYONICS: A Basic Introduction (For the FAQ about Cryonics Institute Membership, see Becoming a Member: the FAQ Q: What is 'cryonics'? A: Cryonics is a technique designed to save lives and greatly extend lifespan. It involves cooling legally-dead people to liquid nitrogen temperature where physical decay essentially stops, in the hope that future technologically advanced scientific procedures will someday be able to revive them and restore them to youth and good health. A person held in such a state is said to be a "cryopreserved patient", because we do not regard the cryopreserved person as being really "dead". (For more detail on this question, see About Cryonics Q: Can cryonics be performed on living people? Q: How do you know revival is even possible? A: We believe that revival is a real possibility because: (1) Many biological specimens have been cryopreserved, stored at liquid nitrogen temperature where all decay ceases, and revived; these include whole insects, vinegar eels, many types of human tissue including brain tissue, human embryos which have later grown into healthy children, and a few small mammalian organs. Increasingly more cells, organs and tissues are being reversibly cryopreserved. (2) The repair capabilities of molecular biology and nanotechnology increasingly point to a future technology that can repair damage due to aging, disease and freezing.
