Alcor Life Extension Foundation

The Alcor Life Extension Foundation is an organization dedicated to cryonics, the preservation of legally dead individuals at very low temperatures with the hope of future revival. They aim to slow or halt decay immediately after legal death, preserving the body for potential future medical advances. Membership involves consent and payment for cryopreservation procedures. While scientifically unproven today, Alcor operates under the belief that future technology might allow for revival and cure of currently incurable conditions. They are one of the leading entities in the field of cryonics, combining scientific research, preservation, and advocacy.
