00:00When the day comes, you'll have to alert Cryonics UK immediately.
00:24If they are unable to revive me, a doctor will pronounce me legally dead.
00:30I'll be placed in an ice bath, my blood will be drained and replaced with a kind of antifreeze.
00:38I'll be transferred to the Cryonics Institute in Michigan and stored in a vat of liquid nitrogen
00:47at 196 degrees C, in a state of dreamless sleep.
00:54I'll stay there until medical technology has advanced enough for me to be reanimated.
01:02It's the end of one life and the beginning of another.
01:08I love you all.
01:12Bye for now.
01:16I love you all.
01:28I love you all.
01:34I love you all.
01:38Oh, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough.
01:52You got wax on your cake.
02:08No, it's beeswax.
02:10I love you all.
02:12Right then, so...
02:14Can we remove this?
02:16Can I remove this?
02:18Yes, you can.
02:19Look, you got wax there.
02:20It's fine, it's okay.
02:21This is burning my fingers.
02:22It's not, Haji.
02:23It's like a life.
02:24Like you always eat it.
02:26Watch the wax.
02:28It's hot.
02:29It's hot.
02:30Wait, wait, wait.
02:31There's wax there.
02:32Just a little bit.
02:33It's just like a thing.
02:34What do you want to do?
02:35You need to remove the wax.
02:37It just flies by.
02:39Yes.
02:40At the time it doesn't feel like it.
02:42Yes, yeah.
02:43At the time it doesn't feel like it's flying by.
02:45But when you look back you think, oh my God.
02:47I thought you said Wi-Fi.
02:49It flies by.
02:51So quickly.
02:53Disconnected from age.
02:56I have one more year left in high school.
02:59What does it feel like?
03:00It feels weird.
03:01Does it feel you're getting old or?
03:04I don't feel old.
03:06And that's it.
03:07Do you not see me as an old age pensioner now?
03:09No.
03:10I don't really.
03:11I don't.
03:12You know what we see?
03:13We don't see.
03:14Because you and Mamie are different age.
03:17Yes, we have a bigger age.
03:19What, 25 years different?
03:21I'm 23 now.
03:23Yeah?
03:24Daddy's 59.
03:25So 26?
03:26Yeah.
03:27I told you.
03:28How is it to be 59?
03:30Yeah, it feels good.
03:31I don't feel 59.
03:32Really?
03:33You don't look 59.
03:34In my mind I don't feel 59.
03:35I feel about...
03:3613.
03:37No, I feel younger than that.
03:39What, 20?
03:4010?
03:41I'm still...
03:4218.
03:43You know, just near end of school time.
03:46End of school?
03:47What school?
03:48Primary or...?
03:4916, 17, 18, 19.
03:50Alright, high school.
03:51That's the way I feel in my mind.
04:09Good morning, it's Nass from Virgin Media.
04:11Alright.
04:12I'm your install engineer.
04:13I'm on my way to your house.
04:14You'll be there for about eight o'clock.
04:15Alright.
04:16That's your plan, mate.
04:18Alright.
04:40So can you read the bottom line of letters, please?
04:43Erm...
04:44I can't, no.
04:45Top line of letters?
04:46V...
04:47Or...
04:4812, I think.
04:49OK, I'm going to add some lenses.
04:50Tell me if it becomes sharper.
04:51So, is that better?
04:52Yes, it's better.
04:53Throughout your eyesight, compared to last time, they have deteriorated.
04:54Oh, has it?
04:55Also, the distance has changed a little bit on your right eye as well.
04:56Right.
04:57Now, sometimes we can see the vessels break and they can hemorrhage.
04:58That could be early signs of deterioration.
04:59Also, it could be, like, other vascular problems like blood pressure and so on.
05:20So, you'll get this question a lot.
05:37Dead is dead, right?
05:38Is there what?
05:39People say, dead is dead, right?
05:41And the answer is, no.
05:43Unfortunately not.
05:45Erm...
05:46There are actually lots of definitions.
05:47So, you've got clinical death, which just means no vital signs.
05:52And you can be recovered from clinical death, with the aid of defib.
05:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:56Or other such methods.
05:57Erm...
05:58You've got legal death, which means that someone has said, this person is dead.
06:02Yeah.
06:03And I'm recording it as a legal fact.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Again, reversible, because you could do that by mistake.
06:08Right.
06:09When is someone really dead?
06:10And the answer is, when you decide.
06:12Okay.
06:13So, the surgical bit will be blood washout, cryoprotective perfusion.
06:26There's a high risk of it going horribly wrong.
06:29And when people inquire, they usually imagine three or four little risks that they think are
06:34potentially horrific, when in fact there's 300 risks that are potentially horrific.
06:39If you've decided this is which way you want to go, like I did, what's the...
06:43Yeah.
06:44What's the...
06:45How do you sign up?
06:46Our role is typically an emergency with no sign up.
06:50And it's the most difficult, because a relative will phone up, and they'll say,
06:54Granny's dying, Mum's dying, Brother's dying.
06:57And then, you have to explain to them what Cryonix is, why they need to give lots of money
07:01to a complete stranger who they don't know anything about.
07:03Right.
07:04And why it's a good idea.
07:07If people are planning ahead, you've got to have family support.
07:10Yeah.
07:11And some of them, sadly, have actually had a heart.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Yeah.
07:25But I have to go to the house of Ishwar.
07:40What will I do?
07:41What will I say?
07:43That I can't keep my family apart.
07:45If you get buried, that's it, isn't it?
07:48There's no way that a buried person is just going to just...
07:52Rot.
07:53Rot away and end up, and cremation will give no chance.
07:58All right?
08:00But there may be no chance also in cryonics,
08:02but it's still a percentage rather than zero percentage.
08:06You're taking that risk. You're willing to take that risk.
08:09Yeah, you know.
08:11If the average age is 70 for males,
08:14I've only got ten years.
08:16You know, that's what comes from my mind.
08:18I want to see you get married.
08:21You get married.
08:22See your, you know, children.
08:25I'm fortunate to look at what I've got left now,
08:28rather than looking forward to...
08:30You know, it's a cycle of humans.
08:33It's what they go through.
08:34I know, I know.
08:36Rebirth.
08:37I'm going to break the cycle.
08:39Break the cycle, yes.
08:44I know.
08:45I know.
08:46You know.
08:47All right.
08:48You know.
08:49You know, the needyny.
08:50I know.
08:51You know.
08:52That's all.
08:53You know.
08:54You know.
08:55You know.
08:56You know.
08:57But today, for the now world,
08:58but today for those who see the prospect of immortality there's a new and less permanent
09:19resting place here in california's san fernando valley the start of a silent revolution which
09:25could affect the future of the world in those capsules people who determine to live twice
09:33who prefer the freezer to the grave the first of the die now live later group men and women
09:40frozen solid in their cylinders waiting for the future and they believe cheating death
09:50no no it's not no yeah i won't say no what are you gonna do it no are you gonna do it she said i
10:13don't know i don't know yet no yet really i'm not sure yet you're not sure yet i'm not sure yet okay

11:44Hi, honey.
11:45You OK?
11:46You OK?
11:47Hello.
11:48Hello.
11:49How's your game?
11:50How was your final?
11:51We're last.
11:52You're last?
11:532-0.
11:542-0.
11:55So how did you play?
11:56Good, I guess.
11:57Yeah.
11:58Yeah.
11:59It's really annoying, to be honest, that I couldn't be there.
12:01I mean, just because I work.
12:02Next time, definitely.
12:03OK.
12:04Oh, my goodness.
12:05That's it.
12:06Oh, my God.
12:07I'm not.
12:08I'm not.
12:09I'm not.
12:10I'm not.
12:11I'm not.
12:12I'm not.
12:13I'm not.
12:14Look at you.
12:15Right.
12:16I better get going.
12:17My time's up.
12:18Right.
12:19I better get going.
12:20My time's up.
12:21How do you...
12:22How do you...
12:23How do you...
12:24How do you...
12:25How do you...
12:26I know.
12:27I know.
12:28It was very annoying, to be honest, that I couldn't be there.
12:31Maybe just because I work.
12:33Next time, definitely.
12:34OK.
12:35OK.
12:36Oh.
12:37Oh, my goodness.
12:38Oh, my goodness.
12:39Oh, my goodness.
12:40This is...
12:44Oh, my goodness.
12:45Next time, definitely.
12:46Okay.
12:47Look at me.
12:48Look at you.
12:49Right.
12:50How do you feel, Daddy G, spending all his money on cryonics?
12:54Um, embarrassing.
12:57What? What embarrassing?
12:59Embarrassing? How?
13:00You heard that close of that right?
13:04How, like, what?
13:06Because if he spends all the money, we'll probably have to beg.
13:13No.
13:14No, if Daddy G used some of his money for the cryonics.
13:17Oh, I thought you said all.
13:18Not all.
13:19It feels good.
13:21Do you think, do you think, Haji, really,
13:24you think you'll still be living here without no money?
13:28Um, yes.
13:30Begging.
13:31Yes.
13:32Begging.
13:33Haji, I can't believe you're going to do that.
13:36If I see you out on the streets begging, I'm going to be like,
13:39that's not my brother, I don't know him.
13:41That'd be me, right?
13:43And then we meet again.
13:45200 years later.
13:46Lie down and then you wake up next to each other.
13:50What?
13:51Do you want it with memories?
13:52Like, you remember each other and all?
13:53Obviously.
13:54Whoa.
13:55OK.
13:56God.
13:57God.
13:58Oh, my God!
13:59OK, Daddy G wakes up now.
14:00Daddy G!
14:01Daddy G!
14:02Daddy G!
14:03Hello, Daddy G!
14:04Hello, Daddy G!
14:05Hello, Daddy G!
14:06My children!
14:07I didn't even recognise you.
14:10How does it feel to be back alive?
14:12Baji finally got married.
14:14I didn't get married.
14:15I'll never ever get married.
14:17Zainhaji passed college.
14:20Baji...
14:21I became a police officer.
14:23And I became a footballer.
14:25Zara became a doctor.
14:27Footballer.
14:28It feels so different without Mamiji.
14:33I know, right?
14:34I wish Mamiji would be here.
14:36Oh no, everything feels different now.
14:40But that's the way life is.
14:42Why not to remember your mum's death anniversary and plans to change something on your mum's grave?
14:58I know.
14:59I know.
15:00I need to do that.
15:01I do everything else.
15:02And again, I feel so guilty.
15:05Why do you find it difficult to go there?
15:08Just...
15:09Well, aside from being...
15:11Knowing that she's no longer with us.
15:13You know?
15:14Because I was very, very close with her.
15:15And you know, I miss her so much.
15:17You know, I had a phone call.
15:20I'd always run across my mum's, literally, in the middle of my food.
15:24I need to go.
15:25You know, my mum needs me.
15:31I need to go.
15:33And she was so much into her religion.
15:43How can somebody who devoted the whole life to God die a horrible death from cancer?
15:52That's not right.
15:54Because if there's somebody watching us, how could you do that?
16:01And I still remember that the body bag came.
16:07Me and my brothers and class family, I remember us picking the body up and putting it up and zipping up.
16:13And that's why I think I struggle.
16:23To go to the grave?
16:24To go to the grave, because I just can't handle it.
16:26I really struggle going there.
16:28But I should.
16:30I shouldn't struggle.
16:58But I don't want to tune in.
16:59I was so sorry I want to keep my steps up and going in.
17:01I'm sorry, Samantha, going in.
17:20Champagne, have you left me leadingize?
17:23I thank you all herself.
17:25What's that?
17:48What's that in the back garden?
17:51What's that in the back garden?
17:58What now?
17:59It has bugs in there.
18:00You should put it in ice.
18:02No.
18:03It's squashed, Haji.
18:04No.
18:06No.
18:07Don't worry.
18:08Keep it alive.
18:09Where?
18:10Do it next to the field.
18:11Keep it alive.
18:12Over there.
18:13It isn't covered all.
18:14No.
18:15I need to put it in the freezer.
18:20What do you mean freezer?
18:21It's not going to go back alive.
18:23In it.
18:24It's already squashed.
18:25I'm to death.
18:26I don't care.
18:27No.
18:28You're getting a plate in it.
18:29It's great.
18:30I'm just checking.
18:31How big do we have to do the hole?
18:34You're going to bury it.
18:36We can put the ice with it.
18:39Okay then.
18:40Put it in then.
18:41Okay then.
18:42Put it in then.
18:46Okay.
18:47Okay.
18:48Let's go.
18:49Let's go.
18:50Let's go.
18:51Bye.
18:52Bye.
18:53Bye.
18:54Bye.
19:20even the kids are saying oh we might do that now don't the only downside is it's coming back and
19:34not knowing anybody and that's the thing honey why I have second thoughts about that but it's
19:43just like any relationship I suppose you know when you break up and you have to start start
19:49fresh yeah you know you're gonna be I mean similar to you I suppose because you knew you knew to a
19:58point that when you came to the UK you're gonna it's a new it's a new start and you don't know
20:07when you're next on to see your family again yes you know what I mean and and it
20:12but that's it though I mean
20:18you're alright it's just it's just every time we talk about
20:35come on it's okay what are you thinking
20:42yeah you're right it's just only this this kind of talk you know it makes me I know I know
20:55it's hard for me it's hard for me I'm worried all the time you know
21:25I feel
21:54I feel like Mamma G I do and don't want to do it because I don't know why I just have in my mind
22:04that I do and I don't really why because I don't know I don't really know why is it just just like
22:15you're afraid of it no why do you want to do that I don't know but I also want to do it because
22:25obviously I do want to see every like my family in the future I want to ask Mamma G why she doesn't
22:33want to do it because obviously if everyone does it in our family then and she's not if she's the only
22:40one who hasn't done it then obviously um she's basically missing a part of our lives again
22:50so
22:59how are you going your coffee thanks very much
23:24with this change and shift that shorter hours and yet more time at home with it with you and the
23:40kids yeah it would be good yes yeah yeah the drop in money though yeah I know that's that's that's not
23:52the most important yeah it's not the deciding factor so we should be okay yeah and you'll have me nagging your head no more that sort of thing it's fine
24:05a member of your family comes with you like you're in a container that person is in containers and you wake up before that person
24:32um would you still want to do it it's a good question that it all depends when you go in so it doesn't mean you're going to go in as a
24:49a nine-year-old boy you might be 40 50 year old boy but you still might come out before daddy G
24:57just what if the person that you would know just like momiji okay um she's she's not 100 sure she wants
25:11to do it so yeah it's still be confusing because you you rely on somebody sometimes and you want them
25:19to be there for you so it's something that you have to accept
25:26all of a sudden I saw this like smoke come up right next to you just like this all right it just just just
25:53came up like that
26:06I got up really really quickly thinking my bed's on fire but when I got up nothing
26:14and it disappeared
26:18I thought I was dreaming but I knew I wasn't
26:25I think that that smoke was actually my mom saying goodbye to me
26:41that's what I think happened you know she said goodbye to me
26:52you know going from being horribly horribly horribly
27:18low in life thinking you know there is nothing more
27:24and um honestly you know to to meet you and for you to support me and help me for what we've done
27:34um just just just um but now we're all here I'm so so happy just just um
27:44it just just feels good um from where I was to where I am now
27:50and while they're still young let's make the most of it
27:54we will we will yeah definitely yeah just the best time I'm having no is is when I'm older
