Key points from article :

Interview by Hattie Garlick.

I signed up for cryonics in 1992, when I was 20.

When I’m pronounced legally “dead”, my body will be cryonically preserved.

Cryonics UK is ready to administer the medical procedures needed to stabilise and cool a body before it is flown to the US on dry ice.

Around 40 people are on our emergency list.

It’s a gamble- either a shot at life or certain death.

I’ve been involved in seven real-life cases. My first was in 2000. 

All that matters is that your brain data is preserved for future generations.

My dad says it’s immoral. But to me a heart transplant is trying to avoid death.
