Article 81 - Cryonics

Canon 5067 (link)

Cryonics is the hyper low-temperature preservation of organisms potentially over long periods in the hope and anticipation that future technology and techniques may enable the organism to be resuscitated.

Canon 5068 (link)

Cryonics is based on several flawed presumptions inconsistent with these canons, including:

(i) Awareness, Mind and Personality are a Product of the Brain. The body is less important. Therefore, so long as the core tissues of the brain are preserved, these other functions are also preserved; and

(ii) Cryonics adequately preserves through cryopreservation the core structures of the brain and therefore all the essential elements to potential bring someone “back to life”; and

(iii) Future technology that could restore encoded brain functions as well as life are theoretically possible; and

(iv) There is no life of Awareness after death for if there was, this would contradict the central premises of cryonics.
