How much is it to get cryogenitically frozen? UK?

Question

is it possible in UK and do you agree? (seriously considering)

Answer 1

This week in Chicago, it is just a brief free walk outside to be frozen. It has gotten really cold, and there is no cost for cyrogenics until spring.

Answer 2

Up until 2000 it was possible to be frozen by a company in Eastbourne (figures, huh?), but there was some kind of problem with technology rights (or something) and it was forced out of business. I don't know if anybody has filled the gap in the market. (There is a section on costs in the 'becoming a member' section of the site listed below.)

Your best bet is reading up on what they do at Alcor in America, and living somewhere near a licenced centre. At some point I'm fairly sure they'll be allowed to freeze live bodies, but you need to bear this in mind - Why would a future society actually go to the trouble of thawing and re-animating somebody with a historic and impractical skill-set, only to have to support that person?

Answer 3

well, first of all i don't agree: as cool as it would be to see the future, why take the risk?. you were born in this era of time so you'll have to put up with it. and secondly, if you think about it, if it was even possible, it would most likely only be possible for younger people, and an old body would never survive the conditions, and if it did, it would die as soon as it was "revived". but, if only young people can do it, then it's a waste of a life. why bother to freeze yourself at an age when you have practically not witnessed life? a waste of a life, that's what i say!
if you do it, i hope it works! im just too chicken...

Answer 4

Here's a suggestion. Hire one that comes with an interest free credit deal. Invest all your money before you are frozen. When they wake you up you will have enough to pay for the process and enough left over to make you very rich (seriously.)

Answer 5

well shows how much they know. it has been done before walt disney has been frozen in hopes they can bring him back and cure his illness when the techknowledgy has advanced. How can u say we would never survive the thaw out process? Hasnt everyone seen a frozen fly before that once unfrozen would fly off? seems like a minor obstacle for our society to conquer.

Answer 6

You have obviously watched a little too much Austin Powers, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sadly, at the present moment, we cannot freeze ourselves in hope of revival later on in the future. So there may be several places that will charge you inconceivable amounts, but it will do you no good since you can't revive yourself.

Answer 7

It costs many thousands of pounds, probably £100,000 or more.

The trouble is there is no way you would survive the process, as being frozen with our current level of tech would damage all of the cells in your body to a degree where revival would be almost impossible.

Answer 8

I think the chances of any future medical developments to reverse the effects of rapid freezing are non existent.
The only people who would have an interest in this area of medicine will be dead.
Also, it seems to me that the world, by and large, is going backwards socially, and there is/will be no imperative to do this work.
As Queen sang 'The world has only one sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever?'

Answer 9

Come on over to Canada. You can do it for free for a few months and see if you like it or not. If you don't, just thaw out in Spring. No problem.

Answer 10

I'm pretty sure its not even possible. At least not yet. Either way it would be super expensive!
