Preserve the right of those who are dying to choose cryonics
Target:
United States Congress, Arizona State Congress, Florida State Congress
Cryonics is the preservation of mammalian tissue at cryogenic temperatures. There are many community members, families and futurists who have arrangements to be preserved when they die. Many have based their decision to do this on studies that have shown viable brain preservation in mammals that were preserved at cryogenic temperatures (below -200 degrees Fahrenheit, -130 degrees Celsius-- much colder than freezing). There are current studies on the preservation and transportation of kidneys at cryogenic temperatures that have been showing progress in the preservation techniques, such as a new method called vitrification that enables an organ to be preserved with virtually no ice crystal damage. Cryonics procedures involve replacing body water with cryoprotectants. This biologic anti-freeze protects blood vessels and organs at very low temperatures, without damaging ice crystals forming.
People who choose this as their end of life option hope that humanity will keep advancing as it has over the past several hundred years and past hundred years in particular. They all know that cryonics may not work, but that the research into preservation helps others who are living now through advanced organ donor transport. Cryonicists want the chance to do more good for their society in the future, to continue their lives--or not, to them it won't matter as they are legally dead anyway. The mathematical chance that cryonics could work, although some specialists put it as low as 5% or 1%, still is a chance.
One can pay for their cryonic preservation for as little as $28,000.00 out of their life insurance, and still leave many times that amount monetarily for their family or favorite non-profits. There are cryonicists from all the world's major religions, ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic backgrounds and educational levels. There are environmentalists who appreciate that their body is not cremated and there are no embalming agents poisoning ground-water. Some are happy that no electricity is used to upkeep their preserved remains (only liquid nitrogen), and that their carbon footprint is only pennies each year. Some cryonicists donate viable organs to help people in need now. There are cryonicists of all political backgrounds as well.
The Society for Venturism is a 501-(c)3, tax-exempt, non profit organization incorporated in Arizona for the purpose of support and advocacy of cryonics. The Venturist Bylaws list, among the primary objectives and purposes of the Society "To advocate and promote the worldwide conquest of death and the continuation and enhancement of life through technological means, including cryonic suspension."
"The Venturists have the belief that the ethics, laws and moral standards are already in place that could support a future society's need to revive cryonics patients. If cryonic preservation is shown to play a key role in prolonging the lives of patients (and this would happen if someone is successfully revived and repaired), not only will it become publicly accepted, but it will also become part and parcel of the medical paradigm that already exists in operating rooms around the world - to save the lives of patients, sometimes heroically and at all costs. One of the first things that could very well happen if there are successful reanimations, would be medical reviews of the case histories of cryonics patients, to determine which ones have a sufficiently high likelihood of successful revival given the state of reanimation technology any given year."
As a director of the Venturists I created this petition, to help spread awareness of the possibilities of Cryonics, but also to urge our legislators to protect cryonics as an end of life choice for those who are dying. People have rights as individuals to choose the method of their own end of life options, whether it be cremation, burial, or cryonic storage. Some people choose to have cryonics arrangements in place when they are young, some learn about it when they are already sick with a life threatening illness or are at an very advanced age. Please protect their rights to be suspended, as well as the rights of those currently suspended by supporting legislation proposed by cryonics organizations.
Thank you.

Cryonics is a Life Saving procedure like performing an Organ Transplant or doing C.P.R. on a Drowning victim.And People have a Constitutional Right to Life,Liberty,and the persute of Happyness.Banning Cryonics would go directly against that.

Put simply, death is a horrible and barbaric event. I learnt that the hard way while watching my gramps slowly die as a tumor sucked the life right out of him. Cryonics opens up a possibility to terminally ill patients and to the elderly who do not wish to die yet, in hopes that near-future technology will be able to cure them or extend their lifespan respectively. It should be the right of these people to choose weather or not be suspended at a late age or in case of terminal illness. |

I'd rather have at least a 1% chance at a future life than a 100% certainty of oblivion and rotting in the ground or being burned to ashes. The choice is obvious. Why can't more people see it?

We all consider human life as extremely valuable and thus the saving of human lives is a noble goal. Cryonics tries to do this. Every human should have the right to choose for cryonics and we as a society should respect this.
