Here's the first case study from Alcor's website. I originally found a problem with cryonicists with wealth trying to take it with them via perp trusts so that nothing was left for life extension retirement communities or expanded cryonics operations beyond bare bones, though the glossy magazine treatment would have you think otherwise. IMO it's still bare bones esp. when compeared to the explosion in AI data center bueinesses. Back in ettinger's day, I thought cryonics was such a great idea that today's data centers reflect what I imageined possible for ettinger's freezers.
With Dorothy's passing after our 30 year vortex that reminds me of Picard's 2 minutes expanded into a lifetime, being in month 22 of post parted shock, mourning being a real physical injury I'm 90% recovered from now but still forever affect by, I find it interesting to reconsider cryonics from my earlier view of monism where mind is emergent from brain--- which to me now is abherrant. Conciousness is fundamental to extistence, see doug matzke Deep Reality 2017 & EWRusssell, Prospects for Eternity and Design for Destiny, sold out on Amazon due to my ordering all existing copies, due for reprint.
An interesting starting point that allows cryos to reconsider monism and entertain dualism vrom a scientific not religious angle, is that the departure of people, like dorothy and all of us some day, is excruciating--- referred to as the insufficient word 'grief' or 'mourning' which is actually a biophysical suction of a mind-pattern system L-field and T=field out of the connected person, quantum fields and sub-quantum fields that feel like dying itself. Every month I can feel a new sense of being myself again after that suction of her energy from my own life and thought fields leaving me hollow and in a type of medically verifiable shock still not universally admitted and recognized other than on an indivudal basis where if you meet someone else having gone through it, you know. Otherwise, there is no prep. Nothing prepared me for the type of medical shock of me the survivor. Dorothy was prepped by her several years of worsening conditions and other factors come into play for the dying like DBV death bed vision and morphine.
Back to Alcor. It occurs to me to examine alcor case studies for treatement and reports of dbv's of they dying cryonics member, under reported on, when the goal is optimized preservation rather than comfort optimization. I would say that the cryonics deanimation is likely more frightful and ainful than the typical hospice deanimation, though I could very well be wrong. It's a conflic worth a true academics time to investigate in my opinion.
Not that it matter too much to me at this point. I'm not signed up anymore. I'm a dualist. I'm preparing my deathbed for comfort care on my terms and getting my estate ready, such as all my junk and stuff that is meaningless to anyone but me, for an estate manager to clean up easily. I supposed that's the least I can do. My transferrance will be, IMO, an adventure.
The last report I read of a cryonics patient who suffered discomfort, ie. not optimzied for comfrot care, was Pizer's, though not labelled as Pizer, still dtermined as Pizer due to my knowledge of timeline. I might have misinterpreted the rerport but my own impression was that his decline wasn't as easy as it could have been had he not been signed up.
I'll look for reports of NDE's and DBV's as well as any other reports of anomalies if I have the time to reexamine the reports. It would be interesting for others to look a reports from CI and OC OregonSparks Cryoncis.... the same way.. as well as the international groups. DBV reports are very high percentage wise, under controlled hsopice condidtions acc ot Nurse Penny and Nurse Julie, famouns on youtube nospirce reports.
