Larry Johnson was a paramedic who got stressed out by his job and took an interest in "speculative" medicine. This led him to be employed by Alcor Institute, which has a number of laboratories in the United States. Larry was assigned to the one in Scottsdale, Arizona.

After just a little time spent there he noticed some eccentric practices--which of course he should have expected, as an Alcor facility houses silver tubes full of dead bodies and "cryogenic" boxes with frozen heads in them. But it went beyond that; Alcor cannot prove what it wants to prove, that is, that they hold the key to immortality. After awhile, as scientist Michio Kaku points out, the human body is just a collection of dead cells.

Even Ted Williams, the baseball legend will not be able to afford to use these services to "wake up" from the nitrogen bath. Johnson has picture after picture of Alcor employees standing with the box that contains Ted's head, and Ted's head itself (unnecessary), and just generally a culture of derangement.

The Campbell's soup incident had to be the most stomach churning. The "scientists" at Alcor stick the frozen heads of those meagre, more impoverished individuals who cannot dole out 80,000 dollars for the full body suspension treatment in their "tubes", or, I mean, their "thermoses". (They use this same variety of bastardized language to distance themselves from, say, removing a human head and “incubating� it: they call that "detachment.")

The whole thing has a demented ambiance of science fiction to it. It is as though, indeed, every employee of Alcor was given a tinfoil hat but to no purpose, with no signification. But who could not sympathize with the plight of, say, Kim Suozzi, only wanted to live past her 23rd year?


A heart wrenching story of a girl so innately intelligent she was already reading Richard Brautigan at age 23. A science major at Columbia, she likely understood the absurdities involved in Cryonics, but saw no reason to negate this "option". What this translates into: Kim Suozzi had to go on Reddit to beg for money to be "frozen for a short time" and get all the money from strangers, then use her life insurance money. (And they only "detached" her.)

While Larry Johnson is odd, that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth and he has tons of evidence to back it up. Recordings, photocopies of documents, and pictures. This started in 1978. So basically there are trucks filled with heads and hands going all over the place to Alcor institutions. ???

This is worth the read, especially if one is into Weird Fiction, like Lovecraft and Machen.
