WATCH: With the hopes of being revived in the future, these humans opted to be cryopreserved inside tanks filled with liquid nitrogen. Currently, Alcor Life Extension Foundation has 199 humans who are clinically dead and cryopreserved
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct 12 - Time and death are "on pause" for some people in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, is the youngest person to be cryopreserved, at the age of 2 in 2015."Both her parents were doctors and she had multiple brain surgeries and nothing worked, unfortunately. So they contacted us," said Max More, chief executive of Alcor, a nonprofit which claims to be the world leader in cryonics.
The cryopreservation process begins after a person is declared legally dead. Blood and other fluids are removed from the patient's body and replaced with chemicals designed to prevent the formation of damaging ice crystals. Vitrified at extremely cold temperatures, Alcor patients are then placed in tanks at the Arizona facility "for as long as it takes for technology to catch up," More said.
