Homepage - Alcor MEMBERS Becoming an Alcor member is easy – and surprisingly affordable If you’re looking to sign up for cryonics, you’ve come to the right place
About Alcor: The World Leader in Cryonics - Alcor Linda Chamberlain is one of the co-founders of Alcor (Alcor Life Extension Foundation) and served as its first CEO She and her husband, Fred Chamberlain III, started Alcor in 1972 Fred, together with his father and Linda’s mother, are all currently cryopreserved at Alcor
Membership - Alcor 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
Alcor Human Cryopreservation Protocol Alcor offers education and training to its members and interested medical professionals in basic human cryopreservation procedures In addition, anyone who feels motivated to participate actively in cases may seek more advanced training
Required Costs and Cryopreservation Funding Minimums - Alcor Before Cryopreservation Membership approval and annually thereafter, Alcor requires the Cryopreservation Member to provide proof of a minimum level of funding which will be paid to Alcor upon legal death Minimum funding requirements are subject to change with 90 days written notice
The Cryopreservation of Kim Suozzi - Alcor Alcor member Kim Suozzi (A-2643) was pronounced legally deceased on January 17, 2013 A neurocryopreservation, Kim became Alcor’s 114th patient In every single case, involuntary clinical death (by today’s standards) is a terrible thing to happen
What is Cryonics? - Alcor Alcor must wait for an independent authority to declare that illness or injury has caused the heart to stop, that further medical care is not appropriate, and that therefore legal death has been pronounced Only after that determination is made can the cryopreservation procedures legally begin
Contact - Alcor Alcor, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit scientific research organization, relies upon donations (many of which are tax deductible for the donors) to continue to provide its world-leading cryonics and cryopreservation research and development
Pets - Alcor Perfusion preservation can only be done at the Alcor facility and scheduled ahead of time Perfusion and cryopreservation of a pet include the cost of euthanasia at the Alcor facility and the euthanasia procedure and perfusion are done by a qualified veterinarian
Neuropreservation FAQ - Alcor Alcor is currently testing storage systems to reduce or eliminate tissue fracturing injury in cryonics patients These systems, which involve storing at temperatures warmer than liquid nitrogen, will be probably available for neuropatients years before they are for whole body patients
