Visit the American krionicheskoy organization Alkor leadership kriofirmy "KrioRus"

March 23, 2011 guidance "KrioRus" attended a familiarization visit to the famous krionicheskuyu organization Alcor, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

We arrived in Alkor as follows: Director-General "KrioRus Valeria ViktorovnaUdalova, chairman of the Board of Directors Daniel AndreevichMedvedev, former president "Alcor", kindly offered us their hospitality and support of Michael Darwin (Federowicz) and cinematographer-director Stanislav Liping.



At 5 am we left the city of Yucca Valley (California), where guests, Mike Darwin, exploring his unique experience in cryonics and resuscitation. Only at 11 am we reached the "Alcor". Despite the long journey, we had plenty of time for meetings and discussions as well as the inverse of the plane was only 20:00.

First we vstretilMaks Mor - known transhumanists, founder of the Institute ekstropii, and now - recently entered the office director of Alcor. " With gratitude we want to stress that, despite the fact that in this day in California passed the first in the career of Max krionirovanie, which he managed remotely, and Max was able to devote sufficient time to us.

At the first meeting to communicate with us Max Moore and Hugh Hixon - Technical Specialist "Alcor". We managed to exchange greetings with Aaron Drake, coordinator of transportation, who immediately afterwards went on a plane to fly to California. With other members of Alcor, we met later.

During the first conversation we are bombarded with questions, and we no longer talked about "KrioRus. We were able to share our experience in marketing, media relations, in social aspects of cryonics. On behalf of "KrioRus" we gave Max Moore in a recent magazine article, "Cryonics and Medicine" and a souvenir-luminescent picture with the night view of the Kremlin.

Gradually the conversation became more lively, and Max Moore started for us a tour of "Alcor". It began with a demonstration hall storage cryonics subjects, the type which opens directly from negotiating through the window of bulletproof glass. At this time, just the time for refilling of nitrogen and checking evidence in the Dewar.

"Alcor has a semi-automatic system of topping up the nitrogen, allowing both to replenish all the Dewar through trub.Hyu Hixon and Mike Perry (MichaelPerry) Personally present at the same time and record all testimony. Mike Perry - the oldest employee Alkor and author of the fundamental work of immortality "ForeverforAll. Moral Philosophy, Cryonics, and the Scientific Prospects for Immortality(Vechnostdlyavseh.Filosofiya morality, cryonics and the scientific prospects of immortality), on which he worked for more than ten let.Ekzemplyar books with his dedication to the author presented the Director-General "KrioRus.

I must say that storage room "Alcor" makes a good impression and is the heart of the company. Now Alkor stored 103 patients (the majority - it is "neyropatsienty"), and 930 people are members of this organization. Contrary to the usual in Russia, the name "kriofirma", "Alcor" (as the Institute of cryonics) is not firm, and non-profit organization. We are currently also exploring the possibility of opening a Russian non-profit organization krionicheskoy.

It should be noted that, despite the presence of well-organized storage, management "Alcor" with interest to listen to our thinking to increase the reliability hraneniyai need contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances. This question is applied both to "KrioRus" and to "Alcor" was also discussed at meeting.

Then the viewing window blinds closed, and we went on a long tour through the rooms and nooks and crannies "Alcor". We saw a workshop and laboratory, warehouse, and the famous kriomobil Alkor. Many aspects of opytaetoy kriofirmy can be used to improve the "KrioRus. This is especially important now, when we plan to open its own large building. Us, it seems somewhat different, not like "Alcor", but this knowledge is important: from little things (like mount shelves in kriomobile) to common issues such as location and a list of rooms in kriofirme.

Particularly interesting to us seemed to Hugh Hixon developed system for automated perfusion patients. We also know two more krionicheskih research organization in the U.S. who are developing the same equipment. Unfortunately, the system is not ready yet. To complete work on their device, Hugh Hixon have a period of several years. We wish him good luck and a speedy completion of work.

After the tour we had the opportunity to talk with Michael Perry, who is now a major chronicler of cryonics, to be photographed with him and even show him in photographs the history of "KrioRus," which he, of course, very interested. He also expressed interest in the teachings of the Russian philosopher Nikolai Fedorov immortalista.

We left at 7 o'clock, tired, happy and enriched by new experience. We were able to better understand how to develop "KrioRus and Cryonics in Russia as a whole. We look forward to a long and fruitful friendship with Alcor. Thanks again to the Director "Alcor" Max Moore for his kind invitation and hospitality.
