LIFE IS PRICELESS
Imagine a world free of disease, death and aging. At the Cryonics Institute, we believe that day is coming and cryonics is presently our best chance of getting there. Our mission is to extend human lifespans by preserving the body using existing cryogenic technologies – with the goal of revival by future science. But will it work? Research makes a powerful case for cryonics. Get the facts and decide for yourself.
ABOUT THE CRYONICS INSTITUTE
The Cryonics Institute provides suspension at cryogenic temperatures also known as cryonics. We provide long-term storage and security for members at our cryonics facility in Clinton Township, MI. We specialize in full-body cryo-preservation of humans and pets, DNA & tissue storage as well as cryonics outreach and public education about the cutting edge science we are engaged in. Members are afforded the opportunity to be preserved at cryogenic temperatures in hopes that future medical technology may be able to someday revive and restore them to full health.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS:
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
Successful cryonic suspension requires immediate action after legal death in order to optimize the preservation of still-living cells. Be prepared for the most critical moment in the cryonic process by reviewing these essential references:

The possibility of an unlimited lifespan to live all your dreams.
Renewed Youth and Health
The potential to stop or even reverse the aging process.
Reunite with loved ones
A possibility to start anew with your loved ones, children and grandchildren.
New Life for a Beloved Pet
Preserve a beloved pet for potential revival.
Future Cures for Today’s Diseases
Future medicine could eliminate debilitating and fatal diseases to significantly improve quality of life.
Organ Preservation
The cryonic technique of vitrification seeks to achieve preservation and transplant of vital organs.
Preserve Endangered Species
Cryonic science has the potential to preserve or revive endangered or extinct species.
A Member Owned and Operated Non-Profit Organization
As a member, you will be one of the owners and operators of the Cryonics Institute, as we are wholly owned and operated by our membership.
