Cryonic suspension is defined by the Immortality Institute as the process of preserving patients .
who can no longer be kept alive by today's medical capabilities at low temperature for medical .
treatment in the future. It involves cooling patients to the point where molecular physical decay .
completely stops. Although science has not yet found a way to reverse this process, it is based on the .
expectation that the future of medical technology and science will be able to cure today's diseases, .
reverse the effects of aging, and repair any injury caused by the suspension process. These .
technologies could then resuscitate suspended patients to enjoy health and youth indefinitely. This is .
the discipline known as cryonics. .
Cryonics is about life, not death. .
Death is the single biggest tragedy of any human's life. Death doesn't merely end life; it .
interrupts the very process of living. Death limits and stunts our experience of life. We live with limited .
hope and possibility. We live scarred with fear, grief, and puzzlement, because we must live with the .
fact that in fifty years -- or twenty, or ten, or even tomorrow -- our lives and the lives of everyone we love .
will come to an end. Why work, plan or do anything at all if, as poets have said, "In the long run we are .
all dead"? However, now only if one has not chosen cryonics on the day one dies, that day will be the .
end of his or her life, with no hope and no reprieve. .
Imagine a world where you no longer have to run a losing race against time. People would not .
have to face certain, inevitable death. The world is cruel. The world sees to it that the only thing people .
know about their future is that they will surely die. Cryonics makes it so that life is conquered. .
Cryonics allows people not to treat life half-heartedly because they know that in the end they will lose. .
Before the possibility of immortality by cryostasis, some people approached death by facing .

Though technology is already keeping people alive who otherwise would have died with little debate, the rising trend of cryonics is perhaps the next big step for mankind "giving anyone the power to play God. ...

Cryonics offers much more than life, it ...
