Inside facility storing hundreds of corpses with the hope of using technology to restore them to full health – UNILAD

Ever thought about being resurrected in the future?

Apparently, a lot of people have thought about that theyd like to do long after the rest of us have passed to the other side and its pretty weird.

If youve not heard about the popular cryogenic freezing trend, then youre in luck.

No, its not just something Star Wars made up, its actually happening right now.

The Alcor Life Extension Foundation based in Arizona is a facility which freezes corpses and places them inside of a cryonic chamber, filled with liquid nitrogen in the hopes that one day they will have the technology available to resurrect those inside.

If you think thats strangeyoure in for a treat.

At the facility, there are more than 200 corpses already, with over 100 individual heads chosen to be preserved on their own.

On their website, the Alcor foundation states: Cryonics is the practice of preserving life by pausing the dying process using subfreezing temperatures with the intent of restoring good health with medical technology in the future.

The definitions of death change over time as medical understanding and technology improve. Someone who wouldve been declared dead decades ago may still have a chance today.

"Death used to be when a persons heart stopped, then when their heart couldnt be restarted, and is now being extended further.

The organisation claims to be pausing the dying process by preserving bodies and heads.

Having spent 52 years preserving people, Alcor was first incorporated in 1972 by Fred and Linda Chamberlain.

But the crazy thing? Fred is now cryopreserved, and Linda still works there.

So, what do you get if you think this sounds like something youre into?

According to the website, youll receive:

There's even the chance to get your treasured pets also cryogenically frozen as well - if you are a member of course.

According to the website, the price for a straight freeze of the whole body is estimated at $29,600 at a low temperature, whereas it's $129,300 for a higher freeze.

Hmm, Ill pass on this but if anyone else wants to take a gamble, feel free!
