OBS

Information confirmed by the organization.

OBS

As defined in the Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, cryonics is "the practice of freezing the body of a person who has just died in order to preserve it for possible resuscitation in the future, as when a cure for the disease that caused death has been found." If future molecular-repair technology can repair damage caused by cryopreservation (including freezing-damage), cure all diseases and stop (and reverse) biological aging -- then cryonics is the "first aid" which can preserve contemporary humans for future science. ... Cryonics is to be distinguished from cryogenics, the physics of low temperature, and cryobiology, the science of low-temperature effects on biological systems.
