Inside a cryonics facility preserving terminally-ill people (and pets) to wake up in the future

In Scottsdale, Arizona, there are tanks filled with liquid nitrogen are the bodies and heads of 199 humans who opted to be cryopreserved (some along with their pets) with the hopes of being revived in the future.
Many of the patients - as Alcor Life Extension Foundation calls them - are people who were terminally ill with cancer, ALS or other diseases with no cure in the present day.
"So they're not really dead, they're just legally dead... It puts dying on a pause and lets you go into the future where we have greater capabilities to reverse that and bring you back to life," Alcor’s former CEO, Max More said while giving a tour of the facility.
It costs a minimum of $200,000 to freeze a body and $80,000 for the brain alone.
But there are skeptics in the medical world, where the idea of cryonics is far-fetched. "I think this notion of freezing ourselves into the future is pretty science fiction and it's naive," Arthur Caplan, professor of bioethics at NYU said in an interview.
"It's almost like what you'd be thinking about in a college dormitory discussion, if I could just freeze myself and then defrost myself kind of like a bag of peas and wind up way in the future, wouldn't that be cool?"

[@JardielDisplay]

Hahahaha. This is a scam. These are dead bodies frozen like a mammoth under ice. Preserved but soulless.

[@JustinLodes]

@@JardielDisplaynot quite. You see mammoths were frozen in a different way. A way that causes damage to cells by ice crystal formation. In cryogenic freezing they use a special solution (an anti ice crystal freeze) their bodies are in fact still viable and intact. Their cells are just not dividing and in a sort of suspended animation. They theoretically can be brought back. They have already cryogenically frozen organs and transplanted them into other bodies after thawing them and they functioned perfectly fine at 100% capacity. The brain is a different type of organ however. We don’t know how the vitrification fluid will affect it since it’s main function is to prevent ice crystal formation but not necessarily protect brain cells and neurons. Based on what I’ve learned this is totally feasible and legitimately possible to revive these people at some point in the future

​@@pgbgroup From experience, I know you're assuming an oversimplification, when in reality, its more of an impossibility of getting ur identity back, that results in death. Dead serious here, You can ask me, and ill put the tltr examples. But basically, no you don't just get to prove your alive n get ur identity back, or even get any identity at all. The fact they need someone to be "legally" dead, before they can even begin, screams shady red flags on so many levels. Coming from a victim of SS Fraud myself, knowing how having rights works and doesn't in such scenarios. It can become much more sinister than just the company making it so your family can't sue them if ressurecting you is unsuccessful. And usually ends up always the case. We're talking; reality of group homes & human trafficking/ abuse/ guinea pig levels/ type bad. And knowing that the reason they need the person "legally" dead before starting, is so they can't be held accountable legally if the person can't be brought back to life in the future. This means the person should've just finished the life they had if they could even afford this. Think about all the loved ones they can't see agn. Its robbery. They definitely could've just let them keep their identity, fact they didn't shows how experimentally leaning towards unreliable this is. Let that sink in.

[@Mikeyhatake2792]

Maybe u will know if u read their company's policies and stuff 😅

[@trumpisaconfirmedcuck5840]

There is no "plug" to pull. The cryopreserved are kept cool by adding liquid nitrogen to the tanks (which is dirt cheap, it's the most abundant element in our atmosphere) periodically. They can go quite a few months like this (better part of a year) like this, though the tanks are typically topped off every week or two. Alcor has predicted the risk of bankruptcy. What they did is set up two trust funds, separate from the company. The trust funds exist strictly to keep the cryopreserved frozen. So there is a lot of redundancy built into cryonics.

Frozen body

[@Allan003]

They have revived "simple animals" such as certain amphibians and fish that this technology is actually based on. Various types of frogs and toads, as well as lungfish and other animals will dig a hole in clay (which helps with cooling the body evenly) in the winter and literally freeze solid, in some cases for years, until the environment is right for them once again to emerge. There has also been success with small mammals such as shrews and mice, though cell damage is a common challenge for mammals in particular. I personally don't think this is a viable method of preservation. Not because we are incapable of eventually working out the science, or even the ethical and moral issues. I think this won't be viable due to the risks of reintroducing disease, viral and bacterial contaminations that could have been "cured" or eliminated. It would be like unfreezing someone from the middle ages. You certainly would run the risk of reintroducing the plague or various other long gone bacteria that we have little to no defence from.

[@olivergoncalves1217]

The fish that they have revived are known for surviving in cold waters...In other words it appears that they are dead, but are not actually dead. The big issue with cryonics is that they can't "unfreeze" the body slowly enough to prevent cells/tissues from literally exploding as they "unthaw". So, this is garbage science and the deceased are just being used a guinea pigs.

[@Torulv]

​@DucknCoverin So what actually is illogical? Putting your body in stasis and causing some damage to it freezing it so that you can wait for a future that might have nanobots that can then put the damaged parts together and revive the cells functions to create energy and do what cells do, its not a feasible hope taking the actual world into account, its just magic? If you deny nanotbots or that type of molecular control is not actually possible. And if you have any reasoning that putting that brain together again with the damage done to it will not be "you" anymore but just a future clone (this is the most saddening but likely pitfal of cryonics). Then you must be able to forsee the future and what is possible and not, and to do that you must already have done all the calculations with regards to creating nanobots is not possible, and somehow I doubt you have done that. And you must outcompete every insanly intelligent AI in the future have to create nanobots. You have no clue if its possible or not, or if the fixed and unfrozen you will be you or a clone, yet you act like you already found the answer. Just the tiniest hope for it being possible, which there is already theoretical physics with regards to nanobots probably being viable if its possible to create them, should be enough to peak peoples interest in it, because you have no idea if its actually feasible, and why would you deny yourself this chance... its moronic. if there is any chance im going to take in life its this

50-100 years is the timeline that is currently expected, and this number depends on how advanced technology is in the future. Technology is actually advancing at an accelerating rate, and this will greatly benefit humanity. There's of course risks (grid failure, societal collapse, nuclear war) as you mentioned; Alcor is trying to mitigate those risks as much as possible. They have resilient liquid nitrogen supply chains and electricity generators in case of grid failures. For societal collapse/nuclear wars, these are extreme events, but societal support for cryonics is rapidly growing, and governmental/private organizations will help ensure that cryonic facilities are still maintained even if societal collapses/nuclear attacks happen.

Luckily for the 20yr old girl who's name is Yvonne Artwayne, Woke up with no complications with the only one being that her hands can Morph into Weapons & stuff, and thats also the only way to Take on the Alien Beasts who are referred to as the Thawed Ones. CRYO-WAKE would be a neat title too for the game. Also it took about 50 years and Yvonne went in the cryo machine in the year 2023. So it would be 2073 i think, i'll fix it later on if im wrong, i'll check rn... (Edit: im not changing the year, i was right, and how did Yvonne get into Cryostasis, well she got Terminally ill with some kind of Cancer, so she was put into the Cryonic Chamber to be frozen in time for 50 years, Luckily, the plant which is named Revirala Both cured her Cancer & Revived her with no Serious Complications, she gets a Cool new ability along for the ride, Bio-Arms, Heck the Person who welcomes her back is a Alien from the same planet the Revirala is from who are Spheri.)

You should up fallout 4. Main character you create and control spent 200 years in cryo and woke up to a world ravaged by nuclear war.

[@azurecorviknight4189]

​@@HolzHause perhaps i shall! & i might make it essentially Future Blasphomous.

[@nana_untamed]

when will they be woken up? does anyone know?

[@jroc3080]

Company claims that they think in less than 100 years it will be possible. Most of the scientists that have talked about it said 500 years at best. Doesn’t matter, the way the company freezes the brain is all wrong. They significantly shrink it

[@user-wb2dl9wf5k]

So how does this company really last a few hundred or a thousand years?

[@TerryYvetteGreene]

4:17 the one picture that the guy pointed out was of a little tot and the mother and father were both DOCTORS.

[@kforest2745]

I want to do that. Don’t tell me there’s a price I was born ahead of the rest. Lol

[@Alan-jp4ls]

How many are ready

[@77Avadon77]

This reminds me of the movie "Archive"

[@cleonbrady7913]

Didn't answer key questions.... have you successfully reanimated someone? How do you know when to reanimate someone? Have you tested this process on animals with success? When did you reanimated a human?

[@veeess977]

What happens if this place goes bankrupt? What will happen to the "patients"?

[@bfb513]

Is this covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield? 🤔

[@realgoons313]

I love this! Frozen solid. So what happens if there is even the slightest shift with a person, or what if the body was struck with something while frozen? Would it just crumble then? If everything in us is frozen SOLID I just wonder if the body would shatter like you see in a movie or similar at least. I don't see how no damage would be done. Even if there's an earthquake and a person's pod tips or something? Probably not fun to see when it opened back up. Someone has to be the one to find out. Let us know. Let me know. If I can pull a SubZero Finishing move then I may have to! Lol

[@lemmyhead8578]

The science is in on this. No, humans cannot survive this.

[@GeraldPUR]

For now

[@jimmystrickland1034]

They can't stop ice crystal formation on the microscope level yet. All those bodies are useless destroyed corpses

[@VJRify]

i'm so confused... So they have to wait until they legally death? So they died basically? how froze them up will keep them alive in the future???

[@Pyracantic]

Do you know what freezer burn is...

[@AA-xc6uq]

The patients are vitrified, not frozen. Freezer burn doesn't apply in this case.

[@Pyracantic]

@@AA-xc6uq OH WHATEVER LMFAO THEYRE DEAD & ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED

[@JardielDisplay]

This will work when a soul machine is invemted. This is no different than a preserved mammoth under ice, souless.

[@dfsghiwot2559]

What if the people in the future 100 years a head would have know idea about how to opperate the facility's & bring back to life those preserved humans & animals?. With the current fast growing & ever changing science & technological advancement, what if cryonics will be very old & long forgotten technology for them to understand it purpose?

[@dfsghiwot2559]

Sorry, it was to say would have no idea

[@levlev25]

Why are they keeping dead bodies frozen? That’s all they are doing

[@HyperMODX]

Yea that's what they signed up for obviously

[@ButterHaus420]

Isn't it somewhat cruel a send a 3 year old girl by her self into the future? Nobody to look after her, nobody she recognizes...

[@peterisnewbie]

I saw a video where they interview her parents, and they are planning to do also the cryonics. I dont remember but they claim Im not sure that they are doctors or scientist themselves and the couple said they have plans to be reunited in the future.

[@natalieturko4808]

But when they "re-awaken", all their friends, much of their family will have passed, or gotten significantly older. Nothing will be familiar, like a fish out of water. How will they fit in? What will their jobs be? It does seem somewhat macabre.

[@jamesortiz5388]

Are they standing up?

[@cameronsteinman1965]

Wouldn't matter lol picture an ice cube

[@lukasbeacon372]

They're actually upside down. Because in case of defrost, this way the brain would be the most protected. I heard about it on another interview some time ago.

[@zac9181]

They’re very dead.

[@hotboitazz4000]

Demolition man this reminds me of

[@JJ-ev5mp]

But main point is - if person die bcoz if brain damage or kidney lever failure or bye murder then even if they alive in future how can this freez treatment will cure those failures in body ?

[@sandramyer7081]

Wonders what chemicals involved

[@88command0]

If they come out freezer burnt then what?

[@DCVizion]

Bruh freeze me I want to see the future please

[@jointhefist1016]

Cryogenics probably won't be figured out for while. If they even come back and everyone they cared about is dead, what kind of quality of life is that. Also a hole bunch of other stuff.

[@GodLovesYou828]

Have they ever did this too a totally unsick human froze them unfroze them has this worked

[@saumyapandey1800]

This is so frightening... And even if this technique would work it would be like giving immortality to someone who is rich and who have enough money to not die... Seems like now money can also prevent the most certain thing, death.

[@amaankhan333]

What's the most certain thing? Death, it's certain that it'll come. What's the most uncertain thing? Death, we don't for certain know when will it come. Even by this method, which wouldn't work, but let's assume it will work for argument's sake, what after that? Let's assume that you manage to give life to these people, what after that? Won't he eventually die someday? So you're really delaying the death & not getting rid of it. It doesn't matter wheather you die today naturally, or go through this weird experience of coming back to life again after being frozen, eventually you're gonna die. That's certain.

[@tybarker5038]

It’s a weird concept But you’re still not immortal It takes away modern time and gives you future time (if it even works)

[@SonicSnakeRecords]

Amazing how some chose to freeze their chill-dren.

[@sandramyer7081]

I've heard about this- cost money- no live but not dead- hmm
