i hope they never have problems with electricity
Marten Vermaut They must have many backup measures such as backup generators, etc.
There would be backups like generators, solar panels, UPS etc. He pointed out a man who died and been frozen since the 60s!
there must be tons of backup generators
The biggest concern would be the company going broke and not being able to afford to continue operations
@@robinnapoleon3065 I'm 19 I think we I get older like 60 or 80 these would have changed and the will know how to make the process safe enough to keep all those protein and neurons with no damage. By the way 2080 or 2100 the would be enable to resuscitate people tough, and the will resuscitate me back in 2150 or 2200.
I hope they successfully revive someone in my life time.
I hope they can't, that would be scary. Just imagine the things people could do.
Hope they revive me in a diffrent life time
Piped and drought same.
@Cyber Nova wow i never thought ab it like that
*News we have brought a man dead 100 years ago*a few hours later*BREaKIN NEWs Hitler brought back to life* :me welp byeeeeeeeee world
I wouldn't want to live sometime in the future knowing that my family and friends are long gone.
i mean
You will make new friends
theTRIOS What you said is stupid.
theTRIOS family makes you stronger love makes you stronger
JOE Bozza freeze them too
i can only imagine the culture shock of a person that has been frozen since 1967, being unfrozen in todays times. they may look at a 4k tv and think its a window.
the question is: if the company goes bankrupt who's going to take care of the frozen bodies?
the money is invested acrossed entire investment board in a perpetual endowment fund. The whole world economy would have to crash and at that point we would all be screwed. There is no guarantees except that if you don't sign up you are guaranteed to not have a chance.
graveyard lel
Real question is...what if the power stopped working
quelorepario Your mom!
Jack 123 They will probably have emergency generators.
Can I come and be frozen for 1000 years so when I wake up I can use the new technology
I need $36000 to cryogenically freeze my father.

insomnia axl lol why
Salman Khan I believe in science. Now, I want to create cryonics company.
insomnia axl really
Salman Khan absolutely
I've got a friend who is there. I can't say if he is dead or alive. What I can't explain, is where does the money come from to keep him there.
Seriously?
I'm really sorry to hear that Mr. Henri d.
Or eaten by the British in the 1600's.
Before your friend died and was placed in liquid nitrogen, he signed an agreement where he would pay monthly dues or a one time fee. Then he either had a life insurance policy or some money setup where he made Alcor (or Cryonics Institute or one of the other cryo organizations) the beneficiary. Some of the money obviously goes into the cooling him off, transporting him, and surgery. The rest goes into a trust fund. This trust fund is conservatively invested to generate interest and returns. The trust's goals are: keep your friend at liquid nitrogen temperatures (cheap), have enough money in case the cryo organization goes out of business to keep the patients safe, ie paying rent/utilities on the building, and finally when possible to restore and revive them.
The trustees are paid nothing to do this. They are all volunteers.

You seem to be very knowledgeable.
Maybe you knew TKD.
The future will change everything - it always has.
Lance Winslow “oh, but maybe we can’t unfreeze them in the future”
People 100 years ago said that about people being unable to go into space.
Indeed, the future hold a lot of opportunities
Agreed
@flargarbason1740 Agreed. I just hope that it works.
They estimated by 2040/2050, so 20 or 30 years, that they will have the technology to bring them to life. so I believe within our lifetime, we're gonna see if these people are crazy or smart. I would love to see how this plays out in 20/30 years, the future is going to be crazy.
Natalie Monroe I doubt it will work
Yeah there is no way they will be able to do that in 20 years
they said that 50 years ago.
aj yeah people also said that we wouldn’t be able to go to space
it working it isn't crazy
he is talking about bringing people back to life like announcing a new brand of shoes of home appliances...... unbelievable!!!!!
😂
@@biennemouesla670 Souls don't exist.
@@biennemouesla670 Please keep religion out of this
@@cloudthief8918 This is not even religion, this is the nature of creatures. Say they can make fresh blood and beating heart, like the Israel PM who was dead in several years but his body was warm and his heart was beating, but no one can ever resurrect the dead.
And this is more insane, a body which is getting such cold, with lots of chemicals in it is even hard to make it natural again.
@@biennemouesla670 I agree with you, and everyone else that mentions religion there is nothing religious about saying your body has a soul, that's the only thing that makes us human. If we didn't have souls then you could literally make a Frankenstein out of random human parts with matching blood types. Also if anyone hasn't noticed when someone drowns and it takes longer than 5 minutes or whatever to be revived they come back brain dead.
I can't even imagine the psychological shock that these heads will suffer when they wake up decades later, in a complete different world, completely outdated, incapable of learning to function as other adults and without a body (this if humanity and this company still exists to defrost them)
I am certain that they would eventually catch up with the future society. But it would definitely take some time though…
Ummm they don't freeze they vitrify the patients. Also they will be grown new bodies. No it's not too far fetched.
@@TheCosmicMachine we will probably be ignorant about it.
Right...
So what happens if this company shuts down? or goes into liquidation? ;) What happens to the bodies?
Niall Scully they wake them up early
Hotsauceandsour Lover lol
Worth a shot I guess
dude c'mon they are genius enough to freeze people forever and they have no idea about going out on supplies...
Niall Scully What it the power was shut off?
Nah I'll just put myself to freezer then live forever
That's what I'm gonna do
@@lilieb3606 I feel the need to say that if you put yourself in a freezer, ice crystals would form and would destroy your cells (including most of your brain) so that wouldn't work... Unless you injected yourself with an anti-freeze before hand..?
@@cloudthief8918 anti freeze is a poison isn't it? Lol I watch a lot of true crime.
Cloud Thief They were clearly joking
lilly mai The antifreeze you use in your car is. Antifreeze as a general term is just something with a VERY low freezing temperature that you can use to prevent something from freezing. Salt is a type of antifreeze.
Why would you wanna wake up say 500 years later with everyone you know gone and its a completely different world
In my opinion, it would be amazing. Knowing that there will more likely be a cure for terminal illnesses like AIDS, cancer, etc., and who knows what else new things we will find waking up to our new reality.
I mean if you're rich you can pay for your parents
So you can enjoy the new technological advancements. What if you can explore space and travel to other planets in 500 years?
"Forever is a very long time" ...yeah, kind of infinite amount of it.
In 70 years ima be 83 so I actually might live long enough to see this work
Same here, except I’ll be 85 in 70 years
Oh you here too (SuperMario) I know you want to enjoy your senses forever, and want all the good things in life. But this is fraudulent! It will never work. I can guarantee it.
You are a spirit soul and already eternal. Your real, eternal home is with God, with whom you can enjoy forever! Why do you want your body to be permanent?
@@Crazytesseractyour screen name suits you perfectly.
Is anyone here after the Shane Dawson Video ? 💀
YAS I am!!
😂 I came down here specifically to look for a comment like this
how did you guess
Nicoo yesss I’m hooked on this
Me
I'd rather live my life happily with my own family and friends than living forever or being cured in another time period...
Why can’t they be involved too?
Patient wakes up after 1000 years.
Patient : so are they flying cars?
Doctor : no , but trump is still president
Patient : freeze me back
When I’m 65 and I know they can bring me back one day I’m getting frozen
Cory It’s not very expensive compared to what you’re getting. Especially since you can’t use money when you’re dead. As for being unfrozen, them saying there’s no guarantee is like hand sanitizer bottles saying it kills 99.9% of germs. It’s basically for liability, it’s very unlikely that there we’ll never be able to unfreeze them. There just isn’t a method currently.
As a comparison, 80 years ago, if you said humans will reach space, you’d be called an insane. But, in the 60s the first humans reached space. Then in that timespan, we reached the moon, we’re working on reaching mars, we even have humans in space at all times. The future is full of opportunities
What do you mean
I watched what happened to monday and they do these cryogenics thing where people get froze and sleep but it's a scam.
If this works to everyone who is frozen they die and wake up in the future instantly
This is pretty neat. The question is: Do you dream when you're frozen?
You cant dream because molecular brain chemistry needs to be fluid for a dream to exist. At Ln2 temps all is stopped. Its like going into surgery and waking up only in a future hospital. There's No dreaming when you are that deeply unconscious.
Just want to throw this out there, the guys in the metal tins are dead, they literally died before being frozen. No dreaming, just a hope of re-annimation in the future.
I'm curious to see how this works and hearing some of the thoughts of the older people from the 60's if possible. I won't hold my breath though and I think to live to around 100 is all the life you really need :-)
yikes, 100 you are breaking down, wearing diapers and waiting to die...if they can regenerate cells , that would be a whole other story
Your dead so ...
No way can you dream .
They dont do this untill the moment you die .
You dont.
This has great potential . I don't see why more people are not interested in this.
People playing God
MrSidney9 that’s part of a bigger plan, devil worshipping and the dajaal system
A Jones With that logic, any form of medical practise that prolongs patients’ lives or cures them would be considered ‘playing god’ as well. Don’t believe in god and even if there was one, he gave us the ability to ‘play god’, should cryonics ever prove successful. Your argument makes no sense. The only people I see playing god are the ones who speak for their god for the sake of their own ideals, which are most religious people in my experience.
@@arij8251 We have bypassed god by now. Assuming he exists
@@sadiev2778 man fails everytime God doesn't.
Shane Dawson Brought Me Here 😂
Me too😳😳😳😳😳😳
How will u know when they wake up
Jen Jen You won't!
Jen Jen Its in their hands..they have to be the ones to wake them manually. They can't wake up just like that.
So what happens if you freezing back in to the Classic Age (instead of Future Age)
Wait, if you freeze someone before they die and put them sleep, if you freeze them then, mitosis and cell division won't occur easy as there slower and froze, would that keep them alive longer!?
The spooky thing is after 500 years technology still isnt possible but the company went bankrupt and nobody remembered it but one day appears on headline that "an archeologist dug out best preserved 500 year old human bodies" like we dig out mummies from pyramid. 💀
They never be back
Lost of their dam 💰
Pottan Kala I don’t think they have anything to lose after all they are dead/preserved
Mr. Moore knows what he’s talking about, he’s obviously from the future
Yes... Cut, and preserve my head. In the future I want a cyborg body like "Ghost In The Shell".
same
What if you come back as a vegetable? Or your cyborg brain remembers your loved ones today but you’re stuck in a world you can no longer relate to? Just a whole bunch of super intelligent beings not understanding a word you ask?
I would love to do this.
But, how and who decides to bring someone back?
And, can investments continue after we're dead, or are we broke when we wake up 1000 years from now?
+Peter Davila Good questions. Did you find the answers to these questions? I'm asking the same ones now, but 2 years later.
+mesof Not yet. But, I do hope this type of technology does offer a way for humanity to eventually cheat death. At least until biomedicine figures out how to keep our bodies young and healthy for hundreds of years. I remain hopeful that we will live long enough to live forever.
Peter Davila I think they should decide to bring them back as soon as they discover a way to do it. Edit: see you after 2 years 👋
Peter Davila you put money in you bank and ask for interest on it when you come back all that interest will leave you rich
@@hectorgarcia3220 You will be probably broke. The % of anual inflation is higher or equal compared to the % your money will grow in a bank.
I would do this so I can wake up in 200 years and listen to Despacito 2
Lol
This is going to seriously mess up the earth if it works
there is a fundamental problem for this business is that they have a conflict of interest if they ever tries to revive people because once you do it means they are out of business. it means the tech would be advanced enough nobody would need to be preserved in the first place. that is why he says that revival is not guaranteed because he never wanted to do that in the first place. XD they do not want to be out of business, do they?
maxlol0 They can't go out of business. Once, they start reviving, they will start getting more clients and believers. There are millions of rich people and family who can afford this but are sceptical ..that would change if they are successful bringing the dead back.
I think that if people started being successfully revived then more people would sign up.
They're non profits and their trust funds do not pay their trustees, so there's no conflict of interest. If anything they want to actually go out of business.
Have you ever thought what would happen if everyone stopped dying? The world world be teeming with people and resources are limited!
The last 20 seconds .. dangerous words
We gone all die one day..Lets just be ready for a beautiful deep sleep..N love life as long as we can💖
This will never happen. PERIOD!!!!!
Notice the filthy floors in the place, as well as wires hanging from ceiling....?
What are you talking about?🤣😂🤣
When do they take those people out of the cryonics?
Muhammad M. Naseem when they have a cure to save them
Never.
why do i have this feeling tht this is nothing but a new grand way to steal people's money
Dark Rose i mean it’s only like $200k.. and you’re dead so your money has no better use technically lol. You can pay for this, donate 30% of your money keep 70% Incase you’re ever back
Maybe they should've put us all into hypersleep until Covid 19 tied off.
2:42 His face just says it all, I would be freaked out too
Too much futurama

Cremated. He was never cryopreserved.
None of these people will come alive again.
this works, like look at call of duty campaigns
bro hes joking
I’m gonna cryogenically freeze myself to the year 3000
If they frozen A Thousand Years that can use a time machine go back in see that Family from the Past if that technology exist
Demetrius White you are probably a kid so im just going to tell you that time travel to the past is not possible now nor will it be in the future.
theorically even ressurecting the death is not as hard as travelling in time
How's it monitored as far as making sure they stay frozen and the power doesn't go out? What happens if the power goes out?
wait until Victor Frankenstein return to life.
who would want to live forever in a cruel world?
The soul is from God only and no matter what they do they can't bring the dead back!
If that's what you believe, then alright. There's actually a medical procedure where they can revive you back from the dead within 2 hours after you've passed away. It's still in the kinks, they've only had about a 19% success rate. They've did the procedure on pigs, and even humans. Most of the humans were either stabbed or was from a gunshot wound, they hadn't worked on it with any other type of deceased person. Like someone who has a heart attack, ect. Just stabs and gunshot wounds so far.
+Texas longhorn One day you will look back and marvel at your own stupidity.

Human beings trying to play God ! Satan is the King of lies don't ever forget that !
C4josh pid death is the end stage of life I have so many question like if they are not dead then what are they doing where are they? Then u realise they have to be dead
Since time is relative, these people have probably already been resurected in the future. For them the centuries of waiting pass in seconds just like they do for us while we are asleep.
I believe that people need a proper resting place. No one would really want grandma suspended upside down for years.
Death is irreversible
so what happens when the building gets wrecked by a tornado or hurricane or earthquake and all the bodies decay?
This project costed them millions or billions of dollars I don't think that the building will easily collapse.
Imagine if someone wakes up and dies because of the cold 😂😂
They already died those people are retarded
wim hof would LOVE this.
Who’s here after Shane ?? 🙂
The journalist is looking at him like he's crazy
How much.
You can fund it through life insurance for like 30-100 bucks a month. www.cryonics.org/resources/life-insurance
They are missing one important thing. A body only works with a soul. This person must be still on the other side and choose to re-enter thier body. Many people who have had NDEs have recalled being told to go back to thier bodies because it was not thier time yet.
I remember very recently reading about the tragic but true story of a 17 year old girl here in England that was dying of cancer - yet longed to live. And what 17 year old in such a situation would not long to live ? And whom would not do all they could to grant her wish ?
Her will was that she should be preserved by cryonics, in the event that she should soon die. The girl died.
The girl`s mother wished to honor her last wish whilst her father disagreed. The case was decided by The Judiciary, which ruled that the girl`s wish should be upheld. Thus the girl`s body is no kept by cryonics.
Alas, where is the girl ?
She is no more. I do not believe that Cryonics is a solution to that which cannot be avoided. Ie, whatever medical advances may emerge, that girl is dead. She no longer exists and even if cryonics can one day re-animate a corpse, it will not be that girl whom once was.
If I may, Rest in Peace, that girl.
But what if they do manage to reanimate her ? What`s the big difference between sleeping and being dead then ? Your consciousness shuts down for some time and then it`s back up again. The future will change our view like that
She was 14
I believe our consciousness leaves the body when we die I would certainly hope so as that would be torturous for a soul to be aware and spend that long in one of those tins...
the guy whom wrote the shown" mammas family" with Vick Lawrence head is frozen there
This is against God

@@espakuz2450 they charge 220k for each "patient".. they profit out of the people's fear of dying

@@espakuz2450 yeah...idk but I think if anyone has that much money to spear, I think it'll be wiser to spend them on reserch and finding a cure for illnesses
Ale Xandra sometimes money can’t save people, how much money has been put into cancer research and yet there has not been a cure well at least wide spread.
Im wondering if they have a ticket with "if not good, return in 8 days" or, not good, money back .
i want to try :)
What happens if the electric go out
This is wrong on so many levels,firstly family members will be clinging on to the hope that one day a loved one will come back to life,its delusional,they need closure when someone dies,not this,life is a cycle,you live and then you die,even if this worked and it wont work because once the soul has left the shell,that is it,you cant return it back,it makes no sense,they are dead,and will never exist in this world again,yes there body looks fine,but this is beyond creepy.
Well put my friend.
The soul? There is no such thing and it's pathetic people like you still believe in this pseodoscience bs
0C.O.S T.A.C it’s pathetic people like him believe in a soul ? No. What’s pathetic is people thinking they can bring back someone who has died, who has moved on.. there are souls in every one of us. I’m not going to get into some debate while you sit here telling me I’m stupid and wrong . This guy is 100 percent right it is behind creepy and it’s messed up. A body should be put to rest . Even if they get the bodies to breathe again .. the life is lost the soul is gone. It will be nothing but yet anther lifeless body. There’s no one there anymore .
Sara McDermott but we can start people's hearts. Shouldn't they're soul have left them by then and Why do you even think souls exist? It's based upon nothing. Or is it because your sky daddy says so?
Sara McDermott everything you just said isn't based on anything? It's sad how stupid and brainwashed you are.

@@flargarbason1740 l'm with you
l have on idea
cryonics to live peaple when the peaple young , frozen those body for a 100 or 200 years , when science give hot to them again , they live but still young
Sazgar Muhammad Can I assume English is not your first language? So, what I believe you are trying to say is that your idea is to freeze younger people so that when we have the technology to unfreeze them (and keep them alive) they’ll still be biologically young even though it’s been many years. That’s basically what they’re doing, they take people with incurable conditions (such as death) and make them REALLY cold. When something is that cold the molecules go so slow that they are virtually motionless which doesn’t allow the cells to break apart. There’s actually a creature called a Tardigrade that does a very similar thing.
@@flargarbason1740 Yes , English is not my first language, so I didn't speak well but I use Google Translator, so you say the cryonics is that the person is dead, Then freeze thembody , well what if they didn't die, that is, just like the example of a baby who was frozen for 24 years, she was still alive, she should have been 24 years old but she was still a child.
Didn't the Egyptians have some similar theory at play back in their times ? :P Very interesting thing...wonder if it will ever work :D
kikbawl They didn't have the technology we have though.
That was based on idiotic things like magic spells and rituals. We have science and objective research now.

It's already been made. There was was a science fiction/horror film that was made called 'chiller ' , about a man called Miles Crayton who was reanimated following cryogenic sleep. Unfortunately what they revived was a man without a conscience or soul.
