       [quote]The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, most often referred
       to as Alcor, is a Scottsdale, Arizona, USA-based nonprofit
       organization that researches, advocates for and performs
       cryonics, the preservation of human corpses in liquid nitrogen
       after legal death, with hopes of restoring them to full health
       when hypothetical new technology is developed in the future.
       As of January 31, 2017, Alcor had more than 1,618 members,
       including 354 associate members and 149 in cryopreservation, as
       whole bodies or brains.  Alcor also cryopreserves pets. As of
       November 15, 2007, there were 33 animals preserved.
       Alcor accepts bodies as "anatomical donations" under the Uniform
       Anatomical Gift Act and Arizona Anatomical Gift Act for research
       purposes, reinforced by a court finding (Alcor, Merkle & Henson
       v. Mitchell) in its favor that affirmed a constitutional right
       to donate one's body for research into cryopreservation.[/quote]
