Last December, Homo Artificialis highlighted Kim Suozzi, who wanted to be cryopreserved upon hearing that she had cancer. Sadly, Kim passed away on January 17th, but the Verge provided an update on her goal:
In an effort to raise the funds, Suozzi turned to Reddit in August of last year, imploring readers of the site to donate to her cause. That post led to a fund being set up by a group called Society for Venturism, a not-for-profit volunteer group that has raised funds for other cryopreservations in the past. That fund, in addition to the money raised directly from Reddit, was enough to pay for Suozzi’s cryonic preservation with a firm called Alcor last week.
