Cryopreservation is a scientific triumph and an outcome of decades of research. We try to uncover how it works, what origin it came from, and the challenges it faces.
Non-human organisms like turtles and clams have been known to live for centuries. They age slowly and some species even express senescence. Understanding the factors behind this may have applications to human longevity.
There is a rich corpus of intellectual thought from Eastern cultures that gives us the tools to look at death and eternal life through a different lens.
Cryonics and Cyborgs are amusing topics for longevity enthusiasts. Discover here which of these two paths fits your longevity goals.
There are fascinating characters in myths, mythologies and works of fiction over the centuries who achieved immortality, but it didn’t necessarily end well for them.
Cryopreservation demands precision, and is time-sensitive. Using medical robots for some of these tasks can deliver these requirements and set the tone for the future of cryonics.
Preserving human bodies at sub-zero temperatures while also not destroying their cellular structure requires many procedures to be followed in a time-bound manner. Cryopreservation is the culmination of all these procedures, leading to a state of suspended animation of the patient.
Preservation of the brain’s information is being explored through chemical fixation. As against focusing on preserving the brain’s structure, this method looks at the matter present inside.
The debate about the posthuman body involves art. This article explores three artists who use technology to create posthuman forms of life, challenging human perception.
The evolution of cryopreservation can be traced back to many key moments, which include the preservation of a murdered patient, pet cryopreservation, and the first case of cryopreservation after euthanasia

All but one cryopreservation carried out prior to 1974 resulted in failure either due to insufficient funding, faulty equipment, eventually leading to the bodies thawing out.
There is no doubt that immortality would come with some challenges that have not been previously experienced in our society as it is not built on the premise that humans can live forever. Could there, nevertheless, be any positive side effects that can be considered “ethical”?
Cryopreservation aims to reanimate the deceased. To ensure that they have something to return to, effective estate planning is crucial.
Cryopreservation is the process of maintaining human tissues so they can later be restored to life. But does a full body need to be preserved, or is focusing on just the brain a better option?

Do you think it is possible for cancer to disappear or aging to be reversed? Longevity Research will answer your questions.
What are the best longevity investments for 2022? We picked the three longevity companies and venture funds you might consider for your longevity investments in 2022.
Life extension is a fast-growing area in the medical field, and many people, including tech billionaires, are looking to invest money in longevity.
Can cryonics researchers apply for grants? Is there such a thing as formal funding for cryonics research? Learn about the international grants, subsidies and funds landscape as of 2021.
Read our exclusive, business-focused interview with KrioRus, one of the few companies currently offering cryonic preservation.

Cryopreservation and Mummification seem similar at first glance, but looking at the way each one is carried out and the reasons behind them, it becomes clear that this is not the case.
Medical science and technology is focused on enhancing quality of life through stem cell therapy, cryonics and longevity research. But what do bioethicists have to say?
Should individuals be allowed the right to die in order to live again? If so, what are the ethical considerations surrounding it? The arguments spread far and wide through self-determination, religion, profession and uncertainty of cryonics.
There is no doubt that immortality would come with some challenges that have not been previously experienced in our society as it is not built on the premise that humans can live forever. Could there, nevertheless, be any positive side effects that can be considered “ethical”?
There are many ethical implications of cryogenic preservation, most without simple answers. One of the biggest is the issue of accessibility and distributive justice. Should cryonics be available to everybody? And if so, how can we make this possible?
The process of signing up, although not complicated, involves a generous amount of paperwork. All this is to ensure that the person being cryopreserved is protected from potential legal and financial challenges, and their cryopreservation from being disrupted.
Cryopreservation aims to reanimate the deceased. To ensure that they have something to return to, effective estate planning is crucial.
Cryonicists look to preserve their assets in order to fall-back on them upon revival from cryopreservation. Such asset preservation can be effected through revival trusts.
If cryonics were to become a reality, society would have a challenging time integrating cryonics patients, who would have been revived from cryopreservation, into the new world. One of the main issues is whether cryogenically frozen people would be able to keep their former legal identity or would they be treated as a new person.
Brain health in seniors will be more important than ever as the average human lifespan increases. Fortunately there are some scientifically proven methods to maintain cognitive fitness as we age.
Cryopreservation has been an intriguing subject for science-fiction filmmakers, who have explored it from different angles through movies like Interstellar and TV shows like Futurama.
Cryonicists hope that modern technology will one day be able to bring back from the dead. But how realistic is a second life after years or centuries of being frozen?
Is death an unavoidable part of our lives? Well, according to this book, the definite answer is no. We already live side by side with organisms that can live forever and do not suffer from aging. So why not imagine such an option for ourselves? The author’s ideas will definitely resonate with life extension advocates of all ages.
We intend to build a vibrant online platform that acts both as an information hub for content on the topic of life extension as well as a community of enthusiasts, experts, service providers, startups and investors.
Our focus is to contribute to the field of longevity, with a particular focus on cryonics, by providing an elaborated information platform where people can learn about the industry, openly discuss and present critical or controversial ideas, as well as be assured of the quality of the content presented. To achieve this, our content is mainly provided by specialists who are experts in their field.
