The company offers two options: whole body preservation (€177,000), and neuropreservation (€70,000). Because Matheryn's body was so ravaged by treatment, her parents chose the latter.

According to its website, Alcor 'intervenes in the dying process as soon as possible after legal death to preserve the brain as well as possible and 'seeks to prevent loss of information within the brain that encodes memory and personal identity,'
Matheryn is the youngest human ever to be cryogenically frozen. The child's remains will be kept in a stainless steel container filled with liquid nitrogen at -196 ˚C at an Arizona facility.Explore more on these topics:
