Cryonics

Freeze your brain at death to hopefully reanimate in the future.

In her book, Hacking Humanity, Lara Lewington mentions that during hibernation, ground squirrels undergo a process knowns as torpor where their body temperature and metabolic rate drop to just 1 per cent of normal, effectively hitting pause. I wonder if there is any research into this approach instead of cryonics? Get 100 years trade in last year of life -and no legal issues about death? 

How much does it cost? Max More examines the fees for the 5 major cryopreservation providers in his October 2025 article The Total Cost of Biostasis.
