2. NEEDS
• People feel that they do not have enough time to do
everything they wish to do.
• Many people think what they accomplish in life go in
vain when they will die.
• They want to increase their life span
through using a technique called cryonics.

3. INTRODUCTION
-Preservation of a person's entire body after death.
-To revive them when medical technology advances in
future.
-Type of cryogenics.
-Application of nanotechnology.
RESUSCITATION-process of bringing a person or animal
from a state of cryopreservation to life.

4. HISTORY
❑ The idea was given by Robert Ettinger
in 1964 through his book "The Prospect
of Immortality".
❑ The first person to be cryonically frozen was
Dr. James Bedford at Alcor Life Extension
Foundation that claims his body is still
in a good condition.

5. COMPANIES OFFERING CRYONICS
• Life Extension Society
• Immortalist Society
• American Cryonics Society
• Alcor Life Extension Foundation
• Cryonics Institute
• 21st Century Medicine
• Suspended Animation
• Kriorus

6. STEPS
Follow these steps to be a cryonaut:
1-Pick a company.
2-Become a member.
3-Put a bracelet all time.
4-Death.
5-Transfer to cryonics facility ASAP.

7. METHODOLOGY

8. CRYONICALLY FROZEN PEOPLE
*TED WILLIAMS-cardiac arrest -baseball player *FM-2030-pancreatic cancer
*JOHN HENRY WILLIAMS-leukemia-baseball player *DICK JONES-AID’s-actor

9. CELEBRATIES WHO PAID FOR CRYONICS
*SETH MCFARLANE-Comedian *LARRY KING-TV show host
*SIMON COWELL-TV show judge *BRITNEY SPEARS-Singer

10. HOW REANIMATION IS
POSSIBLE?
VITRIFICATION NANOTECHNOLOGY

11. VITRIFICATION ACHIEVEMENTS
✓ Frozen tardigrade brought
back to life after 30 years.
✓ In 1992, Dr. Paul Segal
successfully revived a dog
whose heart beat stopped for
three hours. This experiment
was carried out at Alcor life
extension foundation.

12. ✓ In 2016, researchers from 21CM’s preserved the
rabbit brain and successfully reanimate it without
any synaptic damage. This
experiment marks significant
breakthrough in the field of
cryonics. It boost the prospect of
one day bringing frozen human brains back to life.

13. BENEFITS
➢ Another chance at life
➢ Reunite with loved ones
➢ Renewed youth and health
➢ Witness the future
➢ Live longer
➢ Organ preservation
➢ Preserve endangered species
➢ Future cures for today’s diseases

14. ETHICAL CONCERNS OF CRYONICS
SOCIAL ASPECTS:
❖ Abuse
❖ Help needy
❖ Overcrowding
❖ Expensive

15. RELIGIOUS ASPECTS:
❖ Resuscitation belief
❖ Concept of death
❖ Funeral concept
SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS:
❖ Vitrification damage
❖ Harmful effects of liquid nitrogen

16. ARGUMENTS
▪ Consciousness
▪ Loneliness
▪ Acceptance
▪ Boredom
▪ Uncertainty
▪ Saving other’s life
▪ Advancement of science
▪ Insurance

17. CULMINATION
❑ Cryonics is the method of putting an organism
either human or animal on a pause into a state of
suspended animation.
❑ Cryonicist endorse Ettinger’s view that cryonics is
ethically defensible and death is a metaphysical
concept that will be changed in the future.
❑ Some cryobiologists predict that the first cryonics
revival might be occurred in 2040.
