Life extension is a fast-growing area in the medical field, and many people, including tech billionaires, are looking to invest money in longevity.
All therapies being tested may not hit the jackpot, but the overall direction in which anti-aging technology is heading could make this the biggest innovation in history.
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.
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.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ spread great joy amongst his disciples, underlining the value ascribed to life. Stretching this to modern times, cryonics seeks to achieve just this, i.e., life extension.
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.
Cryopreservation aims to reanimate the deceased. To ensure that they have something to return to, effective estate planning is crucial.
Carbon-based life has its limits and won’t enable humans to achieve immortality. Shouldn’t we switch to a better alternative?
If you’re interested in having your body or brain preserved after death, you need to be aware of the options available to you. Few countries actually have local cryonics companies, and many nations have laws that make cryopreservation after death complex.
After deciding to sign-up for cryopreservation, there are a few things that one has to get past. From choosing the type of cryopreservation, all the way to becoming a part of the cryonics community.
Before delving into the legal aspects of cryonics, it would be pertinent to briefly discuss the legal definition of “death”. Law defines death not by some dictionary definition but by scientific criteria used by physicians and accepted by the public. In most legal systems, a doctor’s declaration of a person’s death is accepted as the […]
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.
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”?

Cryonics may sound like something straight out of science fiction and hence expensive, but it is not necessarily so. By organizing yourself now, you can prepare for a better future.

Cryonics associations are intermediaries who provide emergency response, standby, transportation, and such other services to cryonics patients located in remote regions far from the storage facility.
Our independent review for Tomorrow Biostasis, answering the basic questions and concerns of everyone considering the company for their cryopreservation plans.
All therapies being tested may not hit the jackpot, but the overall direction in which anti-aging technology is heading could make this the biggest innovation in history.

Torpor has many advantages and, at a cellular level, humans can still go through torpor but cryonics can help us induce it, when needed.
The world where a smartphone works as a disease early warning system and serves as an alert to begin treatment. The world where your body connects to the internet just like the Amazon Echo or an Apple TV does. This is a world with an Internet of Bio-Nano Things.

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.
Transfusing blood from young bodies is not a new concept – in fact, it has been used to rejuvenate the cells and systems of older bodies, at least in lab rats. The principle of “parabiosis,” a controversial blood transfusion procedure that has become popular in Silicon Valley, is now the focus of a number of scientific start-up companies.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ spread great joy amongst his disciples, underlining the value ascribed to life. Stretching this to modern times, cryonics seeks to achieve just this, i.e., life extension.
Time for evaluating the barriers and technological developments in cryopreservation.
Cryonics may sound like something straight out of science fiction and hence expensive, but it is not necessarily so. By organizing yourself now, you can prepare for a better future.
If humans start living till the age of 150, it will lead to a rapid rise in population. Tackling this population growth may require unusual solutions.
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 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?
Nowadays, the interest in studying the methods alchemists followed in their quest to defeat death is very much alive. This rekindled interest has triggered the unearthing of countless alchemical manuscripts that remained buried in private collections or were once undervalued and has also resulted in new experiments, attempting to recreate the recipes for the elixir of life.

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.
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.
The topics of extreme life extension and biological immortality are increasingly discussed in the scientific community as well as society and are slowly becoming a new trend.
What prevails in science fiction – Science or Fiction? Now it is difficult for movies to surprise us with something, since we already know that everything that we can imagine, we can invent. So what is immortality – fiction or pure science?
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?
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.
