  • USA_SCI_CRY_08_xs .Cryonics: Dr Avi Ben-Abraham, of Trans Time Inc., a cryonics company of Oakland, California. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. Cryonics involves freezing whole human bodies, organs or pet cats & dogs, in liquid nitrogen (tank in background) to await a future thaw. Cryonicists claim that medical science in the future may offer a cure for cancer or the restoration of youth, and that their methods of preservation might offer some people an opportunity to benefit from these advances. Conventional cryobiology methods for freezing organs (for organ transplants, for example) are plagued by problems of intracellular ice crystal formation, which destroys their component cells. Dr. Ben Abraham is reading ?the Prospect of Immortality? and is wearing a bracelet that identifies him as a cryonic patient should he be found dead. MODEL RELEASED 1987.

  • A mother in Dubai cooks her family's lunch in their new kitchen building that is separate from the rest of the house. Her hands are adorned with henna in honor of the wedding she will attend this afternoon. She is covered from head to toe in her home today, as she is when out in public because she is entertaining guests from outside her family. As an indigenous citizen of the United Arab Emirates her family is entitled to a substantial subsidy from the government and jobs for the males in the household. Their high standard of living is a far cry from her parents' life as nomadic Bedouin camel herders of the desert. Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (From a photographic gallery of images of kitchen images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 54) (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE).

  • By 6:00 a.m., the fruit seller across the cobbled street from the Manzos' third-floor walk-up has already arranged half of his display. Living in the heart of Palermo Sicily's ancient Capo Market, the family is constantly enveloped in the cry and clamor of commerce; and, recently, the clatter of restoration work (scaffolding at the end of street around market gates). To Giuseppe, who grew up in this same Italian neighborhood, the hubbub is the sound of home. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • Baboon blood research for cryonic purposes. Surgical staff checking a baboon in an ice bath during an artificial blood experiment. The baboon's blood has been replaced with an artificial substitute. Here, its body temperature is being cooled to below 10 degrees Celsius for three hours. Artificial blood can aid the preservation of organs and tissues before transplantation. It can also be used for emergency transfusions, as a replacement for blood lost in surgery and as an alternative to blood during low temperature surgery. Artificial blood also removes the risk of infection and does not trigger an immune response. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. BioTime, California, USA, in 1992.

  • The modest premises of Trans Time Inc., a cryonics company in Oakland, California. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. Cryonics involves the freezing of whole human bodies, organs or pet cats & dogs, to await a future thaw & a potential second opportunity to live. A recently dead body would be frozen in stages, firstly down to -110 degrees Fahrenheit (using dry ice) and then down to -320 F (in liquid nitrogen). During this process, blood is replaced with a substitute mixed with glycerol, to prevent formation of ice crystals. Intracellular ice formation causes severe damage to organs & tissues, and is a major obstacle in the mainstream development of cryobiology science. MODEL RELEASED 1988.
