The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, of Scottsdale, Arizona, explains that 199 bodies have gone through the cryogenization process to be resuscitated in the future.
Patients suffered from diseases such as cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other diseases for which there is currently no cure and their treatments, many of which are invasive, aim to improve the quality of life.
How is cryogenization?
The cryopreservation process begins by replacing blood and other body fluids with chemicals designed to prevent harmful substances from forming.
Next, the bodies are vitrified at extremely low temperatures in tanks at a facility located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
“They will stay there as long as it takes for the technology to catch up,” said Max More, CEO of Alcor, a nonprofit organization that claims to be a world leader in cryogenics.
