Converted to HTML, December20, 1995. Welcome to the Future. But it will come. Introducing cryonics. http://www.cryocare.org/intro.html

Cryonics and You An Introduction to Cryonics Converted to HTML, December 20, 1995 Welcome to the Future Cryonics is about the future. It is about our personal future, the future of humanity, and the relationship between the two. Predicting the future is a dangerous business, and this booklet does not pretend to be a crystal ball. Sometimes, however, there are trends in science and technology that are so overwhelmingly powerful, some consequences seem inevitable. This booklet, and the science of cryonics, are based on a vision of the future that we at CryoCare Foundation believe to be both foreseeable and compelling. It is a future with computers the size of bacteria, cures for all of today's diseases, and people who live in good health and youth for centuries. If these developments sound too fantastic to be believed, you need read no further. If, however, you can imagine a future of such dramatic potential, please read on. Contents The Future of Medicine Introducing Cryonics Cryonics Today CryoCare Foundation ... How to Contact CryoCare The Future of Medicine What will medicine be like 100 years from now? If physicians a century ago had been asked this question, how many would have foreseen antibiotics, gene therapy, and MRI machines? Probably none. In fact no radiologist could have foreseen MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) even 30 years ago. The developments leading to MRI were occurring in computer science and physics labs, not radiology departments. Sometimes we have to look outside medicine to see where the next medical breakthroughs will come from.

(Editor's Note: The current owner of the St. James Funeral Home has no connection with cryonics.) Cryonics in a Deep Freeze Predictions from the past that haven't come true ... yet By Sidney C. Schaer Staff Writer T HE WORD "cryonics" the practice of freezing a dead body in hopes of someday reviving it didn't enter the dictionary until 1967. But 200 years earlier, Ben Franklin was dreaming of a frozen ride to immortality. Writing to a French colleague, Franklin mused: "I wish it were possible . . . to invent a method of embalming drowned persons, in such a manner that they might be recalled to life at any period, however distant; for having a very ardent desire to see and observe the state of America a hundred years hence . . . "In all probability, we live in a century too little advanced, and too near the infancy of science, to see such an art brought in our time to its perfection." Today, a tiny group of biologists is still trying to bring cryonics "to its perfection." A far larger group of debunkers, however, says cryonics is little more than bogus science. Its promise, they say, will never be fulfilled.

A tutorial designed to give the readera broad overview of the scientific field of cryonics. http://www.transtime.com/cryintro/cryintro.htm

A Simple Proposition A s mankind prepares to launch itself into a new millenium, the only thing that seems certain about our future is that there will be change. For many years now, our society and culture have been undergoing unprecedented transformation, thanks in part to the effects of improving technology. For some, the accelerating pace of change seems disconcerting, maybe even frightening. Such people see more upheaval and chaos than renaissance and revolution. But for many of us, there is an altogether different feeling, a feeling that there has never been a more exciting time to be alive. In the field of medicine in particular, there is cause for great optimism. We have never had greater power for restoring, maintaining and extending health, and yet the big payoff is clearly still ahead of us. Each year that passes marks a new record for medical research funding, and the impetus to greatly increase that funding is gaining strength daily. Many scientists now believe that, given enough time and money, most or all of today's major illnesses and causes of death might one day be cured through increasingly precise, molecular-based technology. Perhaps more startlingly, it even seems possible that the aging process itself (which is beginning to look less mysterious and more like other diseases) might also be cured through medical means, maybe even during the 21st century. In time, human beings might live such long, healthy lives that they begin to view the current average lifespan of nearly 80 years much as we view the less than 25 year lifespan of prehistoric humans (i.e.

49. Cryonics What is cryonics? Many people confuse the terms cryogenics list and thesci.cryonics newsgroup. Here are some cryonics related cartoons http://www2.latech.edu/~mike/cryonics.html

What is cryonics? Many people confuse the terms cryogenics, cryobiology, suspended animation, cryonic suspension, and cryonics. Here are my definitions of these terms, which I believe are pretty much standard. Cryogenics The study of materials at very low temperatures (near absolute zero). Cryogenics is a branch of physics. Cryobiology The study of the effect of low temperatures (below the freezing point of water) on biological systems. A primary goal of this field is the preservation and long term storage of organ systems such as hearts, kidneys, etc. for use in transplantation. This goal has not yet been reached and currently only individual cells and organisms consisting of only a very few cells (such as embryos) can be successfully treated, stored, and revived. Suspended animation This term refers to the ability to start and stop, at will, a biological system (usually a person) through some physical means (usually the use of cold temperatures). Suspended animation does not currently exist. Cryonic suspension A (currently non-standard) medical technique for attempting to prevent the permanent cessation of life in individuals on the brink of death. It involves the use of low temperatures to halt metabolic decay. A person who is cryonically suspended can

50. Cryonics And Cryptography cryonics, Cryptography, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation, a paper by Ralph Merkle, Ph.D. http://merkle.com/merkleDir/cryptoCryo.html

Cryonics , Cryptography, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation by Ralph C. Merkle Xerox PARC , 3333 Coyote Hill Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94304. This paper was published in the Proceedings of the First Extropy Institute Conference, held at Sunnyvale, California in 1994. Some changes have been made to this version. A more general overview of the technical feasibility of cryonics is available at http://www.merkle.com/cryo/techFeas.html Introduction Most people, if they think of cryonics at all, think of Woody Allen in Sleeper , Sigorney Weaver in Aliens , or Mel Gibson in Forever Young . The hero, after spending decades or centuries in the deep freeze, thaws out gradually and somewhat painfully. Rather stiff from the cold, the warmth of the new era slowly penetrates into their chilled limbs until they at last stretch and look about the world with renewed interest and vitality. Not! All in all, our hero is not going to simply thaw out and walk off. And yet the literature on freezing injury, on ischemia, and on the other damage likely caused by a cryonic suspension forced me to conclude that cryonics would almost surely work: how can this be? Molecules and people Fundamentally, people are made of molecules. If those molecules are arranged in the right way, the person is healthy. If the're arranged in the wrong way, the person is unhealthy or worse. While a surgeon's knife does indeed rearrange molecular structure, it does so only in the crudest fashion. The living tissue itself is what really arranges and rearranges the intricate and subtle molecular structures that underlie life and health. When the tissue is too badly damaged, when intracellular levels of ATP are too low to provide the energy the tissue needs to function, when its own internal structure is disrupted, it can no longer heal itself. Today's surgical tools, gross and imprecise at the cellular and molecular level, can no more aid in this process than a wrecking ball could be used to repair a Swiss watch.

Cryonics Europe, US and Worldwide Cryonics, stay instead of rot or burn when You die. Swedish link/På Svenska http://expage.com/ceu (We have nothing to do with the ad.-banner on top) GOOD OLD NEWS! But read it now, You can die anytime. Is life too short? Death depressing? Curious about the future? Would You rather stay than rot or burn at the end? What is the choice? This may be a bit depressing at first, but better to be dealt with before it is too late. Anyone can die suddenly. No eternal genes or cure for aging will protect you against accidents, criminals or sudden death. Would you like to get another chance when You die? Take a pause and come back, perhaps even younger? Instead of burial or cremation, rotting or burning, there is a third alternative. You can stay "on hold" frozen, be revived and rejuvenated as soon as possible, when your cause of death and other damage can be cured. It will not take long as it seems today. Cryonics is the alternative to burial. Stay "on hold" frozen, instead of rotting or burning. It is much less depressing to live with, also for all near ones than a "normal" burial; there is still hope, less grief and sorrowness. Cryonic suspension (whole body) costs total not more than from $28,000 US all incl. in US, by a non-profit organization Cryonics Institute (CI). This can of course be paid by life insurance or a payment-plan.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE RECOVERY OF PERSONS APPARENTLY DEAD By Steven B. Harris, Ph.D. Contents: Introduction Resuscitation Dark Clouds Some General Observations On History ... Cryonics The history of technological innovation is the history of the tortuous paths which advances often take to acceptance. It might seem at first, from the many well-known instances of simultaneous discoveries, that it is the nature of important ideas to spring up newly everywhere, independently, as soon as the world is ripe for them. But this is only the view at first glance. In actuality, the "synchronicity" of discovery usually turns out to be a late phenomenon, one that follows a prodrome in which the "new" idea in question has long been around in some form or another, but steadfastly has been ignored. How long can an important idea be ignored? The model steam engine was demonstrated by Hero of Alexandria in the first century A.D., sixteen centuries before people started thinking along these lines again. Gregor Mendel published the basic principles of genetics in 1866, and was ignored until 1900. Oswald Avery published strong evidence that DNA was the principle of heredity in 1944, but no one really believed it until the time of Watson and Crick almost a decade later. The time varies, depending on circumstance.

60. Nanotechnology And Cryonics cryonics. This process is known as cryonics. Until the mid1980's, the probabilityof cryonics being successful had to be considered as very slim. http://www.futurescience.com/nanocryo.html

NANOTECHNOLOGY In the final analysis, aging and death have only one cause: for whatever reason, the atoms and molecules in our bodies have moved from their proper positions; and other molecules and atoms have moved into positions where they should not be. The molecular machinery in our bodies maintains our lives by handling molecules at the molecular level. A molecular machine is a large molecule that manipulates other molecules, one at a time. We put random assortments of molecules, in the form of food, into our bodies; but these molecules are useless without the intricate molecular machinery in our bodies that sorts through the molecules, rearranging them as necessary, and transporting them to their proper places. When we take a supplemental vitamin or hormone or a medicine, all we can do with today's technology is to inject it into our bloodstream or swallow it, and hope that the body's molecular machinery will transport and use the substances properly. During surgery, even the most precise microsurgery, the surgeon's scalpel slices through thousands of cells moving trillions of molecules out of their proper positions. At the cellular level, every surgical procedure is an unbelievably crude operation. The surgeon relies heavily on the molecular machinery of the body to put things back in position after the surgery is over. If we could develop machines the size of viruses to continuously and efficiently maintain the molecules of our bodies, augmenting the natural molecular machinery in our bodies, we would never get sick. Such maintenance would have to include getting rid of the molecules that aren't supposed to be there.
