 Cryonics Institute:
"Your Last Best Chance For Life--and Your Family's." 

The Cryonics Institute offers cryonic suspension services and
information. As soon as possible after legal death, a member patient
is prepared and cooled to a temperature where physical decay
essentially stops, and is then maintained indefinitely in cryostasis.
When and if future medical technology allows, our member patients hope
to  be healed and revived, and awaken to extended life in youthful
good health.


 

Cryonics Institute: A Brief History and Overview 
By Robert C.W. Ettinger  "The cryonics movement began in 1962 with the
private publication of the first version of my first book, "The
Prospect of Immortality." It gained more attention when Doubleday
published the first of several successful commercial editions,
including several in foreign languages; and with the publication of my
next book, "Man Into Superman."


"Organizations sprang up immediately. The Immortalist Society
(originally the Cryonics Society of Michigan, and later the Cryonics
Association) was formed in 1967 to promote cryonics, and since 1970
has published The Immortalist magazine.

Then in 1976 a separate organization was formed: the Cryonics
Institute, to offer cryostasis services: careful preparation, cooling,
and long term patient care in liquid nitrogen.

"Our goal was maximum reliability and affordability. And we achieved
it. The Cryonics Institute offers clear-cut advantages over all other
providers. Such as--

The Most Affordable Prices Available Anywhere 

"Our prices are lower than any other organization -- in fact, the most
affordable prices anywhere in the world. Our  minimum whole-body
suspension fee is $28,000.  (For members at a distance, transportation
costs and local help will be additional.)  Our $28,000 fee is a
one-time only payment, with no subsequent charges.  It's easily funded
by insurance or other means, and funds the best care available for our
member patients. (For last-minute cases, where the patient was not
signed up beforehand, we ordinarily charge $35,000 rather than
$28,000, if arrangements can be worked out at all.)

"Does that lower fee mean lower quality patient care or services?  No.
The major part of other organizations' fees are earmarked for
investment provisions totally unrelated to patient care and
preparation. Methods and research differ, but overall we believe our
procedures and policies give a better chance for patient survival than
any other organization's -- and this web site will show you the
detailed reasons why.

"See for yourself. Read our FAQ and see a special section -- clear and
easy to read -- called "Comparing Procedures And Policies." It
explains where your money goes, and why it goes to giving you and
those you love the best possible chance for future survival. Remember:
most CI members can afford the higher prices of other organizations
for themselves and their families -- and often do give more, in
bequests and donations. But we've chosen CI -- because we know it's
our best bet. And yours.

Stability, Safety, And Security 

"We have a unique, proven track record of financial security and
stability. Price stability too. CI is the only organization with no
debt, no stockholders, and no landlords. We own our patient care
facilities outright, and all our officers and directors donate their
services voluntarily. We're one of the oldest cryonics organizations
in existence -- and the only such organization that has never raised
its prices, even in high-inflation times like the late 70s and early
80s. Adjusting for inflation, our prices have actually steadily
declined, and we expect this to continue.

"Financially, we are the soundest cryonics organization in existence. 

Rapid On-The-Spot Care 

"We have a uniquely flexible and rapid system of emergency patient
care based on universally available networks of mortuary assistance
(and often medical assistance). This means that in the critical early
stages, we can bring qualified professionals to you faster than any
other system -- to you, and to travelers, vacationers, and members
throughout most of the world. In particular, London-based F.A. Albin &
Sons funeral directors are trained, practiced, equipped, and prepared
to fly a team anywhere in Europe on short notice to help European CI
members or tourists and business travellers.

Your Best And Most Comprehensive Free Informational Resource 

"And lastly, we offer you a continually updated information center --
this web page. The site you're reading will lead you to everything you
need to know about the subject of cryonics, and more. It offers you
free information, free books, the latest news, hundreds of links to
thousands of sources covering health, science, cutting-edge medicine,
nanotechnology, financial help and resources, and supportive people
and organizations. And if that's not enough? We personally will answer
any question you might have about cryonics or the Cryonics Institute
directly by email, or direct you to someone who can. In the world of
cryonics, this is the source to visit, and the place to be.

"So come in. Talk to us, and learn about us. And about the world of
cryonics--the only hope for the elderly or terminally ill, or for
those who die suddenly.  Cryonics -- the only alternative to the
despair of death and disease.  A new technology of life potentially
without limits.

"But please -- don't wait too long. That can be fatal, and often has
been. Read our web page, send us email, call us, write us, visit our
facility -- tell us what we can do for you to help make your decision
an informed one.  We'll be happy to help. But act now. It could save a
life -- just maybe your own. Make a commitment, if you value your life
and the lives of the people you love.

"Remember. You need us, and we need you. Help us to share and build
the long tomorrow."
