Standby services for enrollees who are very near to legal death

As we have improved our capabilities over the past year, I wanted to provide an update on our standby options and current pricing estimates (which are determined on a case-by-case basis).

Brain preservation research program

We have created a research program that allows people in certain areas to access brain preservation services at no cost to them. This requires that prospective patients agree to donate two small brain biopsy samples so that we can measure the preservation quality and contribute to science research. ...
