Introducing the Reintegration Working Group

Alcor will not be able to revive any patients for many decades to come. Although that time is a long way off, we should be thinking about it and planning for it now. For one thing, that’s part of Alcor’s mission: “Future restoration of good health and reintegration into society for all patients.”

Cryonics will be less scary to some if we have a clearer picture of the challenges revived patients will face and the ways we can prepare for them. The Reintegration Working Group (RWG) aims to develop ideas and plans relating to:

• Asset trusts and future-income trusts
• “Memory books” and ways to fill in any missing memories
• Legal structures to allow patients to claim their identities and their status as persons
• An organizational culture that fosters interest in and desire to help those who return from biostasis.
• Supporting and protecting newly revived patients as they gradually reintegrate into the new world
• Facilitating contact with other revived cryonauts, if this is desired.
