FROZEN IN TIME
The Truth About Cryonics
A Salon in the Cemetery with Garret Smyth
A part of the London Month of the Dead
At the Dissenters Chapel, Ladbroke Grove, Kensal Green Cemetery
Exactly fifty years ago in 1967 University of California psychology professor James Bedford became the first person ever to be cryogenically frozen in the hope of being resuscitated in the future. Since then cryonics has became a major industry with three centres in the USA and one in Russia and 1500 people on the waiting list to be cryopreserved on their death.
But is cryonics just a scam whose victims will never realise they have been duped? Or is it the gateway to eternal life? Will the cryopreserved person wake up to an earthly paradise where all known diseases can be cured or perhaps where the contents of the brain can be digitally uploaded into a virtual existence? Or will they find a world run by robots where human beings are merely curios?
Garret Smyth, one of the people signed up to go into the deep freeze on his death, will address the issues surrounding this controversial branch of science.
Garret Smyth is the co-founder of the non-profit cryonics charity, Cryonics UK, an organisation that provides assistance to those within the UK who wish for their body to be cryopreserved upon "death", complete with its own ambulance and special facilities that will ensure the body is shipped to the chosen cryonics storage provider.
