Funding

Method

Approximately 90% of members fund their cryopreservations with a separate life insurance policy naming Alcor as the beneficiary. Some members choose to prepay their cryopreservation, but it typically makes more financial sense to use life insurance.

Coverage

Whole body cryopreservations require a minimum of $220k in life insurance, and neuro cryopreservations require a minimum of $80k in life insurance. You should consider a policy with a benefit amount that increases with inflation, or otherwise provide for higher future costs.

Insurance Agents

You may purchase your life insurance policy from any licensed agent. However, we suggest working with one of our recommended agents, because they have experience getting policies for cryonics.

1-7 Days Before Death

The quality of a cryopreservation depends on how soon the procedure can begin. Preferably, a cryonics standby team is waiting near a dying person up to a week in advance, so they may begin almost immediately after cardiac arrest.

Objectives

The objective of cryonics is to stabilize critically ill patients after cardiac arrest, at cryogenic temperatures, in anticipation of future resuscitation. At Alcor, cryonics is viewed as a form of experimental critical care medicine, with members in biostasis considered patients. Because human cryopreservation is not available as an elective medical procedure, cryonics procedures can only be initiated after the pronouncement of legal death. The procedures to achieve this objective have been developed by Alcor over many years in consultation with external experts in cerebral resuscitation and tissue and organ cryopreservation.

Alcor offers whole body cryopreservation and neuro preservation. In both options the preservation of the brain as the anatomical basis of the person has the highest priority. During the initial stages of cryonics procedures the ideal objective of the Alcor protocol is to secure viability of the brain by contemporary biological criteria. This means that Alcor’s initial stabilization procedures should not be harmful in themselves and that the reversal of these protocols should be possible in principle.

During the subsequent phase, which involves cryoprotectant perfusion and cooldown below 0 degrees Celsius to cryogenic temperatures, this objective is no longer attainable as a result of cryoprotectant toxicity and structural injury associated with thermal stress, and is replaced by the more modest objective of good ultrastructural preservation.

Non-Ideal Cases

The procedures described in this document are what is attempted under ideal logistical and biological conditions. The circumstances under which legal death occurs can be highly variable, and in many cases some or all these procedures except for cooling may be impossible.
