Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos, meaning "cold") is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future. [1] [2] Cryonics is regarded with skepticism by the mainstream scientific community.
The body was preserved on dry ice for the trip, and stored in liquid nitrogen at the Trans Time cryonics facility in San Leandro, California from 1990 to 1993. [ 1 ] In 1993, Bredo was returned to dry ice and transported to the town of Nederland , where Trygve and his mother Aud planned to create a cryonics facility of their own.

The first human corpse to be frozen with the hope of future resurrection was James Bedford's, a few hours after his cancer-caused death in 1967.[15] Bedford's is the only cryonics corpse frozen before 1974 still frozen today.
The Cryonics Institute also specializes in Human Cryostasis, DNA/Tissue Freezing, Pet Cryopreservation, and Memorabilia Storage. [12] [13] The cryonics institute finances itself through membership dues and donations. The cost for cryopreservation is less than $30,000 but the total costs including logistics might add up to more than $100,000.
His body was preserved by Robert Prehoda (author of the 1969 book Suspended Animation), Dante Brunol (physician and biophysicist) and Robert Nelson (President of the Cryonics Society of California). Nelson then wrote a book about the subject titled We Froze the First Man. Compared to the modern use of cryoprotectants, the methods employed in ...
Cryonics is regarded with skepticism within the scientific community and has been characterized as quackery and pseudoscience. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] As of October 2023 [update] , Alcor had 1,927 members, including 222 who have died and whose corpses have been subject to cryonic processes; [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] 116 bodies had only their head preserved.

KrioRus was founded in 2005 by a group of nine people who wanted to be cryogenically frozen along with their relatives to be revived in the future. [5] [6] Some of the company founders had past experience in the field of cryopreservation. For instance, in 2003, Igor ARyukhov was the chief advisor to the project that aimed to preserve the brain ...
