This article is from the Cryonics FAQ, by Tim Freeman tim@infoscreen.com with numerous contributions by others.

5-2. How many people have chosen neurosuspension over whole-body suspension? (This question has only a partial answer.)

The different organizations market neurosuspension differently, so
the answer depends on which organization you have in mind.

>>>Question sent to alcor@cup.portal.com on Wed Jul 29 1992<<<

As of June 20, 1992, Alcor had 271 suspension members and 22
members in suspension. I don't yet have information about how
many of the suspension members have chosen neuropreservation.

ACS has six whole bodies, two heads, and two brains in cryonic
suspension. They can do neurosuspensions, but they do not promote the
option. Art Quaife estimates that less than 20% of the living
members of ACS have chosen neuropreservation.

The Cryonics Institute does not do neurosuspensions.
