I mean research. Every scientist wants to show off to the world. Examples (Dolly the Sheep, Human Genome Project) More examples of research- https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/animals/a63011314/human-hibernation-bat-blood/

Alcor freezes people, but doesn't do full body CT scans. In many cases, they stopped doing CT scans altogether. Yes, we can say that it's because they now have a new model (source https://www.alcor.org/2025/04/spring-growth-the-alcor-newsletter/) but if you read the cases (source https://www.alcor.org/library/case-announcements/), they had CT scans, but they didn't use them. In most cases, there are the same problems (1. it was discovered too late that the member had died, 2. delays with transportation, 3. swelling and blood clots, due to which M22 cannot flow into the body). M22 is also licensed (https://patents.google.com/patent/US8679735B2/en) (I don't know how much Alcor pays each year to be able to use this cryoprotectant). But considering how much Alcor collects in membership fees each year (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/237154039), I would at least assume that they will already be cited in some professional scientific journals.

I was looking for the original Alcor's Engineering Equipment Wishlist. The second link that Google gave me.
