ANEXO IV. RECOMMENDED MINIMUM FUNDING FOR PARTICIPANTS
IN THE ACS CRYONIC SUSPENSION PROGRAM
Options Minimum
Funding
Option 1
Whole body suspension using the “California Procedure” & long-term cryo-
genic storage at the Cryonics Institute facility near Detroit, MI. This funding
also provides funding for “field standby” if available.
$155,000
Option 2
Whole body suspension by Cryonics Institute procedures, with long-term
cryogenic storage at the CI facility near Detroit (funding recommended in-
cludes transportation allowance, and establishment of a research and reani-
mation fund under ACS management.)
$53,000
Option 3
Whole body suspension by the Cryonics Institute with long-term cryogenic
storage at the CI facility near Detroit, MI. ACS will provide assitance only if
called upon to do so by the Cryonics Institute. There is no fund management
by ACS under this plan. Participants become members of both the American
Cryonics Society and the Cryonics Institute. Minimum funding recommen-

the American Cryonics Society.
$33,000

*** Funding recommendations are subject to future changes.
