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
Do you think it is possible for cancer to disappear or aging to be reversed? Longevity Research will answer your questions.
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.
Scientists from Harvard and MIT discover six chemical cocktails which can rejuvenate old cells, having the potential to cure age-related diseases and produce anti-aging effects.
Revived animals are no longer the stuff of science-fiction. Scientists have managed to revive the 24.000 year-old bdelloid rotifer in an aspiring story of cryopreservation.
Cryopreservation has survived periods of struggle, disbelief and opposition. The mostly hostile attitude towards it has changed to one of acceptance and hope.
The principle of cryopreservation, i.e. reduction of body temperature to preserve it, is being explored in connection with deep-space explorations. This is proposed to be carried out through the torpor and therapeutic hypothermia mechanisms.
While cryonics continues to become popular, the possibility of revival remains moot. Against this background, let us look at why it would be too early to reanimate someone who is cryopreserved.
The most innovative bionic products such as prosthetic limbs or even bionic eyes are coming from start-ups, or collaborations between start-ups and universities. Let’s find out more about them!

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 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.
After decades of stagnation, the world of investment and fundraising continues to innovate rapidly. Meanwhile, technological progress among startups specialising in longevity continues apace. Could these two trends ultimately result in a niche stock exchange?

Cryopreservation is an unconventional method used to plan out one’s life extension. This has caused certain myths to surface around it which are to be addressed.
Cryonics is a new medical field that promises life extension, but with a few chilling doubts. We discuss advancements that have made cryonics an idea that is a little less far-fetched.

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.

A look at how Christianity has adapted to the philosophy of Transhumanism, the unusual beliefs it has adopted, and the biblical scriptures interpreted by it.
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.
