Alcor was featured on December 3, 2021 in
The Unxplained, season 3, episode 5: “Secrets of the Immortals”.
The episode featured a tour of Alcor by Max More, explaining the idea and the stages of the cryopreservation process. The treatment was positive and should spark some interest in new people and perhaps prompt action from people who have come across cryonics before but haven’t contacted us.
On the downside, the description of the episode is problematic, as usual: “Sacred waters with remarkable healing powers. Ancient mystics who lived for hundreds of years. A scientific breakthrough may provide the answers to eternal life. Throughout history many have searched for the secret to everlasting life, but so far, it's eluded them. But is it possible to cheat death and live forever? What if, by re-examining ancient teachings and harnessing modern technology, we could eventually become immortal?”
This seems to assume that there really are ancient mystics of great age, repeats the unfortunate term “cheat death”, and uses the problematic and incorrect terms “everlasting life”, “forever”, and “immortal”. The media is apparently addicted to these terms. At least the message is coming across and in a sympathetic manner. On the more positive side, the show regularly consults science presenter Michio Kaku, as it did for the cryonics segment. Previously highly skeptical and dismissive of cryonics, this time Kaku said only supportive things.
Most of the other segments in that episode were not particularly desirable company to be in. An exception was the next segment. This one is a piece on Greg Fahy’s TRIIM trial. That trial used a protocol to regenerate subjects’ thymus glands, thus resetting a critical part of their immune systems to a healthier state. It also reversed their aging toward the end of the trial, as shown by tests using Steve Horvath’s renowned aging clock.
You can watch the show for free but will need to sign in with your TV provider.
