199 human heads and bodies who opted to be cryopreserved in hopes of being revived in the future when science has advanced beyond what it is capable of today, are placed inside tanks filled with liquid nitrogen.
Alcor Life Extension Foundation a nonprofit which claims to be the world leader in cryonics said that their “patients” were moslty terminally ill with cancer, ALS or other diseases with no present-day cure.
A Thai girl, Matheryn Naovaratpong, is the youngest person to be cryopreserved, at the age of 2 in 2015. Naovaratpong has brain cancer.
Max More, chief executive of Alcor, said: “Both her parents were doctors and she had multiple brain surgeries and nothing worked, unfortunately. So they contacted us.”
In 2014, Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney, another Alcor patient, had his body cryopreserved after death from ALS.
The cryopreservation process begins after a person is declared legally dead.
Blood and other fluids are removed from the patient’s body and replaced with chemicals designed to prevent the formation of damaging ice crystals.
Vitrified at extremely cold temperatures, Alcor patients are then placed in tanks at the Arizona facility “for as long as it takes for technology to catch up,” More said.
The minimum cost is $200,000 for a body and $80,000 for the brain alone.
Most of Alcor’s almost 1,400 living “members” pay by making the company the beneficiary of life insurance policies equal to the cost, More said.
More’s wife Natasha Vita-More likens the process to taking a trip to the future.
“The disease or injury cured or fixed, and the person has a new body cloned or a whole body prosthetic or their body reanimated and can meet up with their friends again,” she said.
Many medical professionals disagree, said Arthur Caplan, who heads the medical ethics division at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine.
“This notion of freezing ourselves into the future is pretty science fiction and it’s naive,” he said. “The only group… getting excited about the possibility are people who specialize in studying the distant future or people who have a stake in wanting you to pay the money to do it.”
Time and death are indeed “on pause” for some people in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Would you opt for this pause?
Is that where they keep Biden?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bodies are usually dead
Baking soda cures cancer.
I have always believed that death is nothing more than a spirit leaving the physical body. How are they going to get the spirit back into the body if they get the body functional? Is there money they can spend it the way they want to might make them feel better when they die. I’d love to be there when their Spirit finds out the truth
There are suckers dying every day. Look at all the people including children dying of cancer and still the American Cancer Society is still looking for a cure. BS . If everyone knew what PH is and what to take, cancer would be eliminated. My last PH test at the VA was 8.0 . I put a quarter teaspoon of baking soda in water and drink it. Baking soda raises the bodys PH and cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment. That was proven in 1931 by a doctor. I dont expect ignorant people to comprehend this, thats why they keep dying. Google PH and cancer. 7.2 is neutral.
My sides hurt from laughing. Good one.
