  • Cryonics experiments: laboratory re-agent bottles used by Paul Segall, of Berkeley, California, in his cryonics experiments that involved freezing animals after replacing their blood with a blood substitute solution, and then bringing them back to life. 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, and their preservation in liquid nitrogen 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 organs.  1988..

  • 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.

  • Tufa towers in Mono Lake in winter snow. Mono Lake lie near the town of Lee Vining. It is at least 700,000 years old and one of the oldest continuously existing lakes on the continent. Tufa towers (photographed) are made from calcium and carbonate combine to form limestone, which builds up over time around the lake bottom spring openings. Declining lake levels have exposed the tufa towers we see today. Some of the tufa towers are up to 30 feet high. Route 395: Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

  • 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.
