But, says Wendy M Grossman, advances mean it could be coming a little closer Close This article appeared in the Guardian on Thursday February 14 2008 on p1 of the section. It was last updated at 00:14 on February 14 2008. The conference room window overlooks a line of floor-to-ceiling, gleaming steel flasks. The steel feels chilly but not cold; the warehouse-like space they inhabit is unheated in the Arizona "winter". But don't lift the inner styrofoam lid and stick your hand in: they are filled with liquid nitrogen, which boils at 77 degrees Kelvin (-196C). From a nitrogen storage tank, a pipeline snakes along the ceiling sending a runner to each flask - more correctly, "dewar" - to top it up. Cryonics is a small community. The two largest cryonics organisations, Alcor and Michigan-based Cryonics Institute, together poll about 1,600 members. Alcor has 79 patients and 33 pets in cryopreservation; CI has 85 patients and 50 pets.

    Extractions: Login [Dansk] Cryonics has been defined as "the technology for freezing a person after a terminal illness or a fatal accident, in the hope that medical science will be able to revive that person in the future, when life extension and anti-aging have become a reality". Cryonic suspension is an emergency medical procedure designed to save lives (much like Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), a last-ditch effort to forestall irreversible brain damage. Since the first individual was cryonically preserved in 1967, a handful of firms have sprung up offering cryopreservation and/or storage services to the general public.

It's a very eerie question: if all their cells are alive, what is death?" says Becker. Besides, if all the patient's cells are alive, why can't the patient recover and walk out of the hospital?"

    Extractions: The idea of suspended animation has been around for decades and has been a mainstay of science fiction. One version of it, called cryonics, is seen by many as a means of literally cheating death, preserving a human body at the point of death and then, in some future time, reviving it when whatever killed it can be cured. People die of diseases and other conditions that sometime in the future might be easily curable. For most people that fact is of little comfort, as, say, cancer ravages their bodies and robs them of life. All there is to do is to make ones death as comfortable and as dignified as possible. Afterwards, ones relatives and loved ones will mourn. But for some people, unwilling to go quietly into that good night no matter what the state of medical science is, there may be an option, albeit a controversial one. That option is to place ones body into a kind of suspended animation, right at the point of clinical death, in the hopes of being revived at some point when medical science can cure whatever condition has killed one. The option in question is called cryonics. The theory behind cryonics stem from cases of people who have fallen into an icy lake and have been submerged for up to an hour in the frigid water before being rescued. The people who managed to survive did so because the icy water put their body into a sort of suspended animation, slowing down their metabolism and brain function to the point where they needed almost no oxygen. Cryonics is a little different than that, however.

    Extractions: Email Intern: Email cryonics This week you can celebrate the science fictional practice of cryonics during Colorado's "Frozen Dead Guy Days," a weekend of revelry devoted to "Grandpa" Bredo Morstoel, a guy who has been cryonically frozen inside a shed for several years. His hope was that at some point he'd be defrosted in a future world where he would be rebooted and given a second chance at life. The festival is fairly goofy , but there's a serious group behind the cyrogenic experiments, the International Cryonics Institute and Center for Life Extension . Cryonics has been a popular obsession for years now, showing up in the books of Robert Heinlein and influencing baseball player Ted Williams to get himself frozen. Timothy Leary almost got cryonic too, but decided at the last minute to be cremated. [via Laughing Squid Read More: 1:33 PM on Mon Mar 3 2008

Stablize the patient until a solution can be found? Or throw people away like garbage ? Centuries from now, historians may marvel at the shortsightedness and rationalizations used to sanction the unnecessary death of millions. Brian Wowk Ph.D , 9th May 2006 Introduction In contemporary medicine terminally ill patients can be declared legally dead using two different criteria: whole brain death or cardiorespiratory arrest. Although many people would agree that a human being without any functional brain activity, or even without higher brain function, has ceased to exist as a person , not many people realize that most patients who are currently declared legally dead by cardiorespiratory criteria have not yet died as a person. Or to use conventional biomedical language, although the organism has ceased to exist as a functional, integrated whole, the neuroanatomy of the person is still intact when a patient is declared legally dead using cardiorespiratory criteria.

    Extractions: By Bill Christensen posted: 27 January 2006 01:24 pm ET document.write(''); document.write(htmlstr); Dynasty trusts, also called personal revival trusts, are a hot topic among the cold dead. More than 20 states allow trusts that pay out funds indefinitely to future generations. Now, cryonics clients can name themselves as beneficiaries before being frozen. Who wants to be a corpsicle? Mostly those who are single, male and wealthy. Kenneth Weiss, co-founder of RSA Security is working with a Swiss bank. Robert Miller, owner of Future Electronics, Inc. is also planning for this frozen future. Science fiction writers have been chipping away at prejudices about frozen and preserved people for generations. The word "corpsicle" was probably coined by science fiction Grand Master Frederik Pohl in the mid-1960's. Larry Niven used it in stories like A World Out of Time "Your newspapers called you people corpsicles," said the blond man. "I never understood what the tapes meant by that." "It comes from Popsicle. Frozen sherbet." Corbell had used the word himself before he became one of them. One of the corpsicles, the frozen dead.

    Extractions: Subscribe to KrioRus news KrioRus specialist Alexey Potapov KrioRus is the first cryonics company outside the United States and is providing affordable cryonics services. It was established in 2006 by a group of Russian cryonics enthusiasts who found during a cryosuspension in September 2005 that there are few hurdles to a successful cryonics practice in Russia. The legal issues, the technical issues, the transportation and the co-operation with morticians were all much easier than we expected when we first considered a local cryofirm. Russian cryonicists wanted to create a local company for more than a decade. Preparatory work on KrioRus started in 2005. We selected the location for the storage in January 2006. In March we moved the equipment in and tested the dewar. On April 24 and 28 we moved two Russian patients who have been temporarily stored in dry ice into permanent storage. On May 3, 2006 "KrioRus" was registered as a limited liability company. The company focus is in providing reliable and affordable cryonics services throughout Russia and in Europe. We can minimize the price of cryonics by doing neurosuspension (which is expensive at Alcor and not offered by Cryonics Institute). Our procedures are simple and functional ensuring that the total price stays below 10000 euros in most situations. We are authorised by a Russian insurance company to sell life insurance as their agent (with a discount to the client), bringing cryonics within the reach of everyone. We can also perform a whole-body suspension and store the patient in Russia or ship him to an American cryonics provider.
