An Institute That Extends Life Beyond Death

Alcor currently favours vitrification as a technology. More than 60% of the water inside cells is replaced with protective compounds during the ice-free process of vitrification. 

Myth 1: Cryonics Freezes People

A

Whole kidneys have been successfully retrieved and transplanted after being cooled to -45°C while being shielded by vitrification chemicals. Blood vessels have been reversibly vitrified in this manner

Myth 1: Cryonics Freezes People

B

The only way a stopped heart can result in death is if nothing is done when it does. Cryonics makes a suggestion.

Myth 2: Cryonics Preserves Dead People

A

 Cryonics makes a suggestion. The goal of cryonics is to halt the dying process while there is still a chance that it could be possible to reverse it in the future.

Myth 2: Cryonics Preserves Dead People

B

 Even today, the initial few minutes of clinical death are undoubtedly reversible. Sometimes cryonics is used even after the heart has stopped. Cryonics does not hold that the dead may be brought back to life. It is believed that until the mind is destroyed, a person is not truly dead, and that low temperatures may be able to stop this destruction

Myth 2: Cryonics Preserves Dead People

C

The majority of Alcor’s members are middle class, and they pay for cryonics through life insurance. 

Myth 3: Cryonics Is An Indulgence Of Rich People

A

Any healthy young individual in the developed world who planned for it has access to cryonics. 

Myth 3: Cryonics Is An Indulgence Of Rich People

B

The lifetime cost of cryonics for a young person is comparable to that of smoking, cable TV, or frequent eating out

C

Alcor’s membership includes prominent scientists and doctors, as well as members of the American National Academy of Sciences and experts who have testified before the U.S. Congress on topics unrelated to cryonics

Myth 4: No Reputable Scientists Or Physicians Support Cryonics

A

Myth 5: Cryonics Conflicts With Religion

Cryonics aims to conquer life-threatening sickness by safeguarding and conserving life. Both medical and religious pro-life views are consistent with cryonics.

B

After more than an hour without breathing, a heartbeat, or any mental activity, hypothermia patients have been brought back to life.

Myth 5: Cryonics Conflicts With Religion

C

Occasionally, deep cooling is employed during neurosurgery when the heart needs to be stopped to “turn off” patients for extended periods of time

Myth 5: Cryonics Conflicts With Religion

D

Cryopreserved and resurrected human embryos are a common practise. Because cryonics is fundamentally similar to these other types of “suspended animation,” if it works, it will work
