A German company sells the promise of resurrection. Over a hundred people lined up
Ten people have been frozen after their deaths so far. However, there are over a hundred people waiting in line. After their death, their bodies will be transported to a laboratory in Switzerland as soon as possible. There they will be cryopreserved, i.e. frozen at -196 degrees Celsius, then placed in special capsules filled with liquid nitrogen. The service provider promises its customers “resurrection” in the future. Undefined, because everything depends on technological progress. So there is no guarantee that the promise will be fulfilled. Volunteers offer their bodies for scientific purposes, which makes the whole process legal in most European Union countries.
This is the first service of this type in Europe. Interestingly, most of the people in the waiting list are young. The average age of waiting people is 36, most of them work in the technology industry. Most of them count on preserving their brain, which after “waking up” could be, for example, placed in a body printed on the basis of genetic material.
One million for freezing the body, 280,000. for the brain. So much for the promise of “resurrection”
How much does the promise of resurrection cost in an indefinite future? Volunteers who have signed up for the list must pay 25 euros every month. Monthly subscription is not everything. The cost of preparing the body after and the cryopreservation procedure itself is PLN 200,000. euros, i.e. almost a million zlotys. Those willing can also opt for a slightly cheaper option of freezing the brain itself for 60,000. euros, which is just over 280,000. zlotys.
“I’ll be happy if they prove me wrong.” If longevity becomes possible in 20 years, fine. But for now, research on cryopreservation seems to have the greatest impact on life expectancy, admits Dr. Emil Kendziorra, president and originator of the start-up. He also emphasizes that the company’s goal is not profit, but progress and a mission.
