Conventional wisdom in life extension circles is that making cryonics arrangements allows one to benefit from rejuvenation technologies that are not available during one’s existing lifespan. Aside from the risk of high-impact accidents or getting lost at sea, there is one challenge that some cryonicists will face when they grow older; the...

One of Alcor’s founders, Fred Chamberlain III, has been cryopreserved at Alcor. His wife, and co-founder of Alcor, Linda Chamberlain, has released a document to announce his cryopreservation and honor him: “One of our great intellectual and emotional bonds was our interest in technological means of extending life. Fred and I...

The schedule for the upcoming Portland Cryonics and Brain-Threatening Disorders Symposium has been published. On July 7, 2012 a number of high-profile and upcoming speakers in the cryonics and life extension community will talk about identity-destroying brain disorders and how diseases like Alzheimer’s can frustrate the objectives of the...

As we learn more about the human genome, there will be an increasing recognition that general diet recommendations are going to give way to diet recommendations that more closely track the genotype of individuals. For those interested in healthy life extension an important question concerns the relationship between ApoE status and diet. In Why We...

In a few days the Institute for Evidence Based Cryonics and Cryonics NW will host a symposium on Cryonics and Brain-Threatening Disorders. We care deeply about this issue and some of us have observed fellow cryonicists succumb to (advanced) dementia prior to their cryopreservation – or worse, the disease compromised their understanding of...

Some observers believe that cryonics advocates are reluctant to subject their theories to experimental scrutiny because this could damage their (uncritical) belief in future resuscitation. Similarly, one might think that cryonicists would react with a mix of hostility and dismissal to alternative strategies for personal survival. Nothing could be...

It is generally not the task of scientists to consider the legal, financial, and logistical limitations when searching for biomedical breakthroughs but there are good examples where considering the real-world applications of a technology can be instructive. Research aimed at preservation of brains (or the “connectome”) is such an...

The recent symposium on cryonics and brain-threatening disorders was a major success. On Saturday, July 7, 2012, around 30 people attended the first ever symposium on dementia and cryonics in Portland, Oregon. The symposium started with a brief introduction by Institute for Evidence Based Cryonics President Aschwin de Wolf, who emphasized why...

A common complaint against cryonics is that existing cryopreservation technologies may not be good enough to preserve the ultrastructure of the human brain. Advocates of cryonics often object that such views do not reflect actual inspection of the evidence of cryopreserved brains but instead reflect misconceptions about “freezing†and ice...

In her book Reconstructing Illness: Studies in Pathography, Anne Hunsaker Hawkins proposes that the modern pathography is replacing the accounts of religious conversion that were popular in earlier eras. What is a pathography? One definition that I found is “the study of the life of an individual or the history of a community with regard [...]

From June 3 to 6, 2012 I attended the annual Society for Cryobiology meeting, which in 2012 was held in Rosario,Argentina. Attending with Argentine biogerontologist and Cryonics Institute Member Rudy Goya (who was profiled on page 6 of the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of LONG LIFE magazine) may have reduced the interaction I had with the cryobiologists....
