What is CryonicsCryonics is the branch of physics which deals with Low Temperature Preservation of human beings and animals that are declared dead by Medical Definitions.
Freezing the Dead

Origin of cryonics
The idea of Cryonics originated with the book “The principle of Immortality” written by Dr. Robert Ettinger known as “Father of Cryonics” in 1964, “

Alcor InstituteAlcor is a Non-profit organization authorized to Cryopreserve the patients after they are declared dead legally under the provision of Governmental Acts .

Cryonics Process Body legally Dead
Supplying enough Oxygen and Blood
Preservation in Lqd N2(-198◦ C)
Circulation Of Cryoprotectants
Vitrification byDry Ice(-130 ◦ C)
Injection of Heparin(Anti-Coagulant)
Operating Room at Alcor Life Extension Foundation
A surgeon at Alcor performs initial procedures preparing for circulation of
Cruoprotectants
Surgeons performing Vitrification process
Aluminum container placed in a "neuropod“ is immersed in Liquid
Nitrogen in a tank
Six wholebody and four Neuropatients preserved in this container in lqd N2

Advantages of cryonics
Brain
It is strong belief that future technology and medicines will be able to revive Cryopreserved patients.

Disadvantages of cryonics
Ethically controversi
al
High CostNo Guarantee

Reliability of CryonicsNo Reliability of
CryonicsCryonics can fail in
two ways
Unreliable Duration of
Cryopreservation
Insufficient record of mind successfully

Ethical Issues
Existence of Soul
Embryo’s Soul
No Confliction With Religion
Cryonic Patients not regarded Dead by Cryonicists
Life Extension
Heart Bypass Surgery
