Imagine there’s no sleep
Imagine that human culture has never experienced sleep, but suddenly must experience it to survive. Would they be apprehensive about experiencing it for the first time? Of course! Just picture… this total suspension of consciousness, experienced for the very first … Continue reading

Cryonics and fear of the future
To people who have made cryonics arrangements the biggest mystery remains why more people have not made the same decision. The most obvious answer remains that cryonics has not been proven to “work” yet. People who give this answer usually … Continue reading
Robert Ettinger on cryonics and research
One of the most common criticisms of cryonics is to argue that cryonics can only be a legitimate endeavor when there is (peer reviewed) demonstration of whole body suspended animation. Advocates of cryonics point out that this is an unreasonable … Continue reading

Cryonics in the media
The Detroit News features a story about cryonics that is a good illustration of the upward battle that cryonics faces in the media. First and foremost, this story reinforces the idea that cryonics concerns the practice of freezing dead people: … Continue reading
ACD-CPR & the rise of the machine?
If conventional cardiopulmonary support (CPS) in cryonics is difficult to perform adequately, and impossible to sustain for more than brief periods (30-60 min) before exhausting even a 3-man standby team, this is even more the case for active compression-decompression CPS … Continue reading

Evidence based cryonics
Cryonics patients can greatly benefit from rapid stabilization after pronouncement of legal death. One fortunate feature of stabilization procedures is that the most effective and validated procedures are relatively inexpensive and easy to perform. The difference between no stabilization procedures … Continue reading

Life in non-aqueous solutions
Can life exist without water? This is one of the questions that fascinates astrobiologists. The behavior of biomolecules in non-aqueous solutions is also of interest to cryobiologists and cryoenzymologists. Ice formation below zero degrees Celsius can be prevented by high … Continue reading

Suspended animation is not cryonics
On the Immortality Institute cryonics forum, Alcor Board member and researcher Brian Wowk has posted some insightful comments on the difference between suspended animation and cryonics. Although impressive technical advances in cryonics to date, such as vitrification, have failed to … Continue reading

Cryonics: Using low temperatures to care for the critically ill
“Cryonics does not involve the freezing of dead people. Cryonics involves placing critically ill patients that cannot be treated with contemporary medical technologies in a state of long-term low temperature care to preserve the person until a time when treatments … Continue reading

Hydrogen sulfide does not induce hypometabolism in sheep
In a widely publicized series of experiments by Blackstone et al., hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was found to induce hypometabolism in mice. These experiments raised interest in whether such “suspended animation” could be achieved in humans. If administration of H2S would … Continue reading
