"Alcor recently performed a 13-day standby for a member in Florida"

Thanks alot for this big accomplishment!

This is great news to all cryonicists because now Alcor can proove they are providing good services to members. It does help me in my situation and I am sure for alot of other people.

Alcor Cryopreserves 80th Patient:

http://www.alcornews...80th_patie.html

This is for sure a leader in cryonics just for this reason. They offer alot more than CI in that case. I think they are going to the right direction, with longer standby period.

Maybe in the future it will be a 100-day standby! lol..

Glad to hear about the great effort by Alcor

Should be good PR, pretty cool that she is the oldest Alcor patient too, at 102! I'm sure that if cryonics works, there will be some distinction for the 'oldest' human alive--whoever that turns out to be, Rose seems to be a strong contender

Alcor proved again this good and new Medical Practice called Cryonics. Amazing.

Forgot to ask.. right now it is kinda private on alcor's site or is it on anywhere on the news too?
And it is also important, how is it written if it is on any news? as people mostly find those stuff of mockery.

Although she may be the first centenarian ever cryopreserved, she misses the oldest human "alive" distinction by more than a decade. Since the death of Japanese supercentarian Yone Minagawa in 2007, the oldest man and oldest woman still with us are both Americans and both born on April 20, 1893. They are supercentenarian Edna Parker, and cryonics patient James Bedford.

The next oldest cryonics patient is Stanley Penska, born in 1896, and cryopreserved in 1996 at the age of 99 years.

So James Bedford is oldest? That is what I thought. Thanks for the history

[Luna]

hehe both born on april 20? 2 days before my birthday =)

[jonano]

Robert Bedford might be the oldest man today in term of cryonics.

But I challenge anyone here to be smarter than me because...

I AM BUILD TO LAST!!
Build to last with my car
Build to last with my career
Build to last with my life
Build to last with my clothes
Build to last with my computer
Build to last with my money

I challenge everyone to live longer than me

I challenge everyone to make the future a better place for all

Sorry but if i make the future a better place for myself i'm already happy


But on the other hand if everyone fought to make the future better for themselves, that would be the ideal. Many people are just too lazy and need other people to sacrifice themselves to make the future better for these lazy folks.

I was not talking about sacrifice as in one's life, but donating a percentage say 5% to 10% of one's income to non profits working to end the extreme inequality. It would be great if more people did this for life extension as well.

The top 2% of the world's population owns 50% of its resources, 50% of the world's population owns only 2% of its resources.

I do not believe there are a lot of lazy folks out there, folks that work hard in fields that are not future technologies? --yes. Folks who were born into poverty as most of the world's population is?--yes.

Ever since I was age 6 or so, I realized there was great suffering in the world--there is a part of me that can not be happy when others suffer so much, due to circumstances beyond their control.

We do need to help each other out, so we all can achieve more. It would also be no fun to be 'alive' in the future and to have no one else around--that they died, would not make me happy.

sam988, you are now showing your less-than-ideal mental state.

I don't think you should express in this forum.. because your topics are kind of stupidity.
