What is cryonics and who’s actually doing it?
Cryonics is the low-temperature preservation of the human body after legal death, with the hope that future medicine can restore function and even consciousness.
For decades, it’s been dismissed as Silicon Valley fantasy. The stuff of tech billionaires and cyberpunk novels.
But one startup is changing that.
Meet Tomorrow Bio.
A Berlin-based company offering full-body cryopreservation for the same monthly cost as Netflix.
And no, you don’t need to be rich.
How Tomorrow Bio’s service works, step by step
Here’s what happens when you die (legally):
✅ Standby team dispatched. Their medical unit arrives at your location when death is near.
✅ Immediate stabilization. Oxygenation and cardiopulmonary support begin seconds after legal death.
✅ Vitrification. Instead of freezing, your body fluids are replaced with cryoprotectants. No ice. No cell rupture.
✅ Storage in Switzerland. Your vitrified body is cooled to −196°C and placed in a custom cryotank. No electricity needed.
✅ Revival fund in Liechtenstein. Assets can be stored in a future trust, legally set to return to you upon revival.
You’re frozen in time. Biologically paused while medicine and AI race forward.
The price of potential resurrection
Here’s the actual cost breakdown:
💶 €50 per month membership (or €500 yearly)
💰 €200,000 one-time fee, often covered through life insurance
🧠 Neuro option: just the brain? €75,000
This pricing is surprisingly lower than US-based cryonics providers like Alcor or the Cryonics Institute. Both charge more and offer less integrated support.
Tomorrow Bio is backed by the Tomorrow Patient Foundation, a Swiss nonprofit managing long-term storage and financial stability over a 100-year investment horizon.
But... can they actually bring you back?
Let’s be brutally honest.
No human has ever been revived from cryopreservation.
There’s no timeline. No guarantee.
But here’s what we do know:
🧬 Organ and embryo vitrification already works
🧠 Brain function recovery post-cardiac arrest is improving
🧑⚕️ AI, gene editing and nanomedicine are accelerating rapidly
🔬 Cellular repair mechanisms are no longer theoretical
As CEO Emil Kendziorra puts it:
“Your chances of revival are infinitely higher than if you’re buried or cremated.”
Who’s signing up and why?
Over 800 clients and counting have already enrolled. Many are:
Young people with terminal illness
Longevity investors
Technologists hedging on future biotech
Everyday people who simply do not accept death as final
Some also choose to cryopreserve pets. Lower costs. Fewer legal hurdles.
A philosophical shift: death is no longer binary
Cryonics challenges the very definition of death. If cells can be kept viable and brain information preserved, what does it truly mean to be gone?
Ancient Egyptians preserved bodies in tombs hoping for life after death
We now use liquid nitrogen and data trusts.
Welcome to the modern pyramid.
Is this the future of longevity?
Whether cryonics works or not, it marks a growing trend.
People are refusing to die on aging’s schedule.
Cryopreservation isn’t about immortality. It’s about possibility, buying time until biotech has better answers.
And at €50 per month, it’s no longer just for the elite. It’s becoming real.
