命运号角

Next, we have a string of three misleading words to talk about:
有三个词是错的：

Cryonics is the morbid process of freezing rich, dead people who can’t accept the concept of death, in the hopes that people from the future will be able to bring them back to life, and the community of hard-core cryonics people might also be a Scientology-like cult.
We’ll address these three words by going through how cryonics works, starting at the beginning.
我们通过剖析人体冷冻法的原理和形成来纠正这三个词。

So you decide you want to be a cryonicist. Here are the steps:
首先你要成为一个冷冻成员。下面是步骤:

Step 1) Pick a company
选公司
There are four major companies that provide cryonics services—Alcor in Arizona, Cryonics Institute (CI) in Michigan, American Cryonics Society (ACS) in California, and KrioRus in Russia. KrioRus is the newest option and quickly up-and-coming, but the two big boys are Alcor and CI (ACS doesn’t have their own storage facilities—they store with CI).
有四家大公司提供人体冷冻：亚桑那的Alcor，密歇根的Cryonics Institute (CI),加利福尼亚的American Cryonics Society (ACS)，俄罗斯的KrioRus。KrioRus是最新的，最有前途的公司，但Alcor和CI技术更成熟，ACS没有存储设备，而是用CI的。

From my perusing, it seems like Alcor is the slightly-more-legit and fancier of the two, while CI (which was started by Robert Ettinger, the guy who launched the movement) is more affordable and gives off more of a mom-and-pop vibe. Both are nonprofit, and each has about 150 people in storage. Alcor has a little over 1,000 “members” (i.e. people who will one day be in storage), and CI has around half that number.
经过我考察，和CI相比，Alcor更合法也小贵，CI（Robert Ettinger启动项目）便宜，也更适合夫妻。非营利性的CI和Alcor都储藏了150人。Alcor预备储藏1000多人，CI500多人。

Step 2) Become a member
报名
To become a cryonicist, you need to fill out some paperwork, sign some stuff and get it notarized, and pay for three things: an annual membership fee, a transport fee to get your body to the facility after you die, and a treatment/storage/revival fee.
想要被冷冻，你需要填表，签字与公证，费用包括会员年费、尸体运到设备的运输费、处理储藏复苏费。

Alcor’s annual membership fee is about $700, and their transport fee is bundled together with the treatment/storage/revival fee—together they cost $200,000. Alcor gives you the option of ditching your body and just freezing your brain (this is called “neuropreservation”), which brings the price down to $80,000.
Alcor的年费为700美金。运输费和处理储藏复苏费是算在一起的，20w美金，你也可以选择只保留脑袋（被称作“保留神经”），这样只要8w美金了。
