Common Questions
Questions and Answers
How donations work, and what cryonics means for this fundraiser.
-
How do I make a one-time donation?
Open the donation page, choose one-time, enter the amount you wish to give, and continue to secure Stripe checkout. There are no suggested amounts and no set goal, so the amount is entirely your choice.
-
Can I give every month?
Yes. The donation page offers a monthly gift with an amount you choose. Monthly donors sign in with their email first, so the gift can be managed under their account.
-
How are payments handled?
Payments go through Stripe checkout. This site never sees or stores your card details.
-
What is cryonics?
Cryonics is the practice of preserving a person at very low temperatures after legal death, in the hope that future medicine might one day offer a chance at life. Whether that will ever be possible is not established. For me it is a personal hope, not a promised outcome.
-
How is cryonics different from my current treatments?
They are two separate subjects. Cryonics is the whole-body preservation I am raising funds toward. My cryoablation treatments in Morgantown, West Virginia, freeze and remove precancerous cells in my esophageal lining through an endoscope. They are not whole-body preservation.
-
Are the gallery images real photos?
No. The storage tank images on the gallery page are generated illustrations, not photographs of a specific facility.
