“I believe new technologies will be available after 2030,” says Medvedev. “Using those new technologies, scientists will be able to bring back to life entire humans or their brain only. A reviving technique will be widely affordable by 2050. Now I wouldn’t like to guess how much it will cost in the future. But I do believe that Lydia Fedorenko will be one of the first customers to be revived, and her relatives will pay nothing for her revival. As far as I know, the lady is the oldest person kept in a cryonic storage at the moment,” says Medvedev.
Fedorenko will soon become the oldest person of the planet Earth. Her revival will be a good PR move.
KrioRus (Moscow) currently charges the following fees for services rendered:
- Preparatory work and freezing of a brain: $9,000
- Annual storage fee: $500
- Preparatory work and freezing of a whole body, including transportation to the Institute of Cryonics ( United States ): $45,000
- Freezing and storing of small-sized pets: charges to be agreed.
