Cryonics is the low temperature preservation of humans and other animals that can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine until resuscitation may be possible in the future. Human cryopreservation is not currently reversible In the United States, cryonics can only be legally performed on humans after clinical death. The rationale for cryonics is that the process may be reversible in the future if performed soon enough, and that cryopreserved people may not really be dead by the information theoretic definition of death.

The Cryonics Institute (CI) is a member-owned-and-operated not-for-profit corporation which provides cryonics services. CI is located in Clinton Township, Michigan. As of 1-September-2007 CI had 674 Members, 305 of whom had funding and contracts in place to be cryopreserved upon legal death. Thirty-six of those funded Members had contracts with Suspended Animation, Inc.for standby and transport. Also as of 1-September-2007 CI had 83 human patients, 49 pets and 123 tissue/DNA samples in liquid nitrogen storage -
