Relive post-death: A pensioner signed to deepfreeze
Metro - 26-Nov-2020A 73yr old believes in future technology and signed up for cryopreservation
Alcor
World leader in cryonics
Before Alcor, prior attempts at cryonics relied on relatives of the cryopreserved patient to pay ongoing patient storage fees for the foreseeable future, which was not sustainable long-term, and resulted in the loss of a number of patients – but never at Alcor. This is why Alcor funding minimums include enough money for indefinitely long storage costs.
When an Alcor member is cryopreserved, a significant portion of the member’s funding is placed into the Alcor Patient Care Trust, which pays for storage costs, and transfers investment funds into the legally separate Alcor Care Trust Supporting Organization, which provides protection against liability. The investment funds are held by Morgan Stanley.
This conservative funding arrangement is designed to cover the cost of patient storage solely from the income from the Trusts, thereby assuring that such funding will continue indefinitely into the future. This arrangement is one of many reasons why our members have confidence in Alcor.
