Until now, Alcor has added surcharges for the cryopreservation minimum for members outside the USA and Canada to compensate for higher response and transport costs. After reevaluating these costs – and despite a recent commitment to providing a higher level of response – Alcor is reducing these surcharges. The former surcharges were $15,000 for the UK and $25,000 for other countries. The new, universal surcharge is $10,000.
