       > 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.
