Identity of the person who has decided to survive in a state of cryogenic freezing his own death was not disclosed. We only know that this middle-aged man, who died of a heart attack. Thus, in Russia for cryopreserved: 13 people, one cat, three dogs and two birds.
Wait for the time when science will be able to revive frozen, cryopreserved man will be in a special storage facility located in the north of the Moscow area: the village Alabushevo near Zelenograd. With him are waiting for the resurrection of another 12 patients, men and women, residents of Moscow and the regions, Russians and citizens of neighboring countries.
All of them are still alive concluded a contract with a single company in the country, providing services for cryopreservation of the body or head neyrosohranenie.
By the way, with the head are possible options. Can be stored in liquid nitrogen the entire head, but you can - only the brain. At the discretion of the customer. Freeze until better times the body is 30 thousand dollars, the head (brain) - 10 thousand. It is - yet. Prices, according to company representatives, zamorozchika soon change. Save for the descendants of the body will be some invoices. This is due to the new, and therefore more expensive equipment. Just now Alabushevo complete installation of a huge "thermos" called "Cryostasis-1", which will take patients.
- Do not outsource - corrected experts. - Relocate.
They do not really believe their patients dead. While being subjected to this procedure is possible only in one case: after the legal death. And nothing else.
By the way, about the terms. "Freezing", "thermos" - a narrow-minded determination. "Thermos" - a Dewar flask in which the head down in liquid nitrogen placed the body of patients. At the same people, of course, not frozen, literally, as we were frozen in freezers products. After stating heart failure and death it is not only important to quickly cool the body, but the "crowd out" the blood into the tissues to enter certain drugs. In particular, the cryoprotective mixture. Otherwise, the resulting ice crystals fatally destroy the body's cells.
Legends of the wonderful cases and resurrection freeze in an ice hole in the Arctic ice - no more than a legend. Prepare a person for cryopreservation can only be a professional and if the necessary conditions and materials.
Cold head
According to the director cryonics Danila Medvedev, the economic crisis and a heat wave in Moscow have not affected his patients. Power failure was not, moreover, do not confuse them with electrical equipment coolers.
Even if as a result of power outages in the store come "doomsday", it will not affect the temperature of the "thermos" -dyuare. Liquid nitrogen evaporates very slowly for weeks.
Refrigerants in Moscow because of the heat went up twice, but the financial situation of the company, according to Medvedev, is quite stable. Moreover, increasing the cost to the cryopreservation of the body kriospetsialisty promise to reduce prices for neyrosohranenie brain.
Cryopreservation services in Russia are available from autumn 2005. 2007 - Then the number was frozen four. Over the past three years the number increased to 13 plus a few dozen people signed contracts. Generally sparsely. Especially when you consider that the cost of services is comparable to the elite burial. At that very important metropolitan dead, as we have already mentioned, prefer cold: in the tombs is now fashionable to install air conditioning. So why? Few believe in the possibility of the resurrection?
- Not in this case - says Medvedev. - For us it is an innovation, to which we must get used to. And cryopreservation in Russia is not positioned as a service for VIPs. We do not organize a lavish ceremony, but in our store is not the marble sarcophagi.
Cryonicists intend to rectify the situation, but will go its own way. No marble and Swarovski crystals in liquid nitrogen. Any creative idea: to create pages "frozen" in social networks. In combination with lower prices to maintain brain it can work. The client will ...
- The belief that the service is used only wealthy people - no more than a stereotype, - says Medvedev. - Personality disclose course, I can not, but half of our customers - people middle-class, from the regions.
Freeze, Die, Sunday
Not only science does not stand still - the needs and fantasies of the client also go beyond the bounds of possibility. The cryonics tell that to them in recent years increased the number of citizens on various issues nekrionicheskim.
- We are used to people asking to save the DNA - for themselves or relatives. There were questions about the storage of semen and a fence, for example, before chemotherapy.
And recently, they were asked to keep the body aunt, because of the inheritance which is litigation. Before the end of the proceedings.
A most unusual event occurred in the spring. The young woman was tragically killed her husband, the widow appealed to him to help him remove the seminal fluid to freeze and then to conceive of him and have a baby.
Cryonicists attracted biotechnologists, who do similar operations with animals, worked for the legal side of the case ...
The order did not take place: the woman changed her mind. But in principle, they say in kriofirme, and that they can.
As for their traditional services, it is necessary to remember that for the mentioned 10-30 thousand dollars no promises resurrection. That money - only the service fee to store cryonics subjects for a hundred years. After that, the contract can be extended for 25 years. And then - by 25, and so an infinite number of times. While the relatives did not take a decision on unfreezing and burial in the usual way. Who, for whose account and, most importantly, what will revive frozen? The answer to these difficult questions will have to find descendants seekers of eternal life.
