.Cryonics: Reaching For Tomorrow

CRYONICS: REACHING FOR TOMORROW discusses the application of cryopreservation technology to terminal patients today is called cryonic suspension or human cryopreservation. The goal of human cryopreservation and the technology of cryonics is the transport of today’s terminally ill patients to a time in the future when cell and tissue repair technologies are available, and restoration to full function and health is possible – a time when freezing damage is a fully reversible injury and cures for virtually all of today’s diseases, including aging, may be available. This book describes the state of cryonics as practiced by the Alcor Life Extension of Riverside, CA in the last decade of the 20th century.
