How much does this cost?
- ASM_god 11y agocosts me about 135 $/month
- listic 11y agoIn this case, probably $80,000. This is Alcor, the most established and expensive option. Their list prices are $80,000 for neuro (brain only), $200,000 for whole body preservation [1] There are various funding options. [2] Cryonics Institute, the other US-based organization, charges $28,000 for full body [3] (they don't offer neuro) Russian KrioRus charges $12,000 for neuro and $36,000 for full body. [4] NB: if the cost seems high, keep in mind that most of the money is supposed to be held in trust for the cryonics patient so that income from principal can pay for long-term storage. [5] History proved that it's the only way to reliably and sustainably finance cyopreservation, potentially indefinitely. I am not affiliated with any cryonics organization, just researching my options.
