The price for the cryopreservation of the whole body is $200,000 and $80,000 for
head only.
Cryonics are the efforts to save lives so that persons beyond the modern medicines
can be preserved for decades until a proper future medicine technology can restore
the person to full health and to life. The word sounds like fiction but it is based on
modern science.
Cryonics are based on three facts that are known improperly:
- 
When the basic structure is properly preserved, life can be stopped and restored again: 
The chemistry of human's life is stopped by preserving his embryo for years. They have
survived cooling to temperatures to stop the brain and the organs from fuctioning upto an
hour. From this, biology tells us that life is a particular structure of matter. If the cell
structure is preserved properly, life can be stopped and restarted.
 2. Preservation of biological structure by vitrification:
Cryoprotectants( high concentration of chemicals ) are added to cells to permits the tissue
to be cooled at very low temperatures with little or no formation of ice. Vitrification is the
state of no ice formations below temperatures of -120°C. It is now possible to physically vitrify organs as large as the human brain, achieving excellent structural preservation without freezing.
3. Methods for repairing structure at the molecular level can now be foreseen.   
The emerging science of nanotechnology will eventually lead to devices capable of extensive tissue repair  and regeneration, including repair of individual cells one molecule at a time. Any preserved
person at which the basic brain structures encoding memory and personality remain intact, the future
of nanomedicine could theoretically recover him.
Cryonics should work:
1 If the survival of structure means the survival of the person.
2 If the essential structure can be preserved sufficiently by cold.
3 If the injuries of the preservation process can be repaired by the forseeable technology.
How to prevent death?
Death mainly occurs when chemistry of life becomes so disorganized that the normal operation itself
cannot restore the body. A hundred years ago, cardiac arrest was irreversible. Everyone declared that
people whose heart stopped beating was dead. Death is believed to occur after 4 to 6 minutes after the heart stopped beating. It is because it is difficult to revive the brain after the heart stops beating. However, with a new modern medicinal technology, more than 10 minutes of cardiac arrest can be
survived now without brain injury.  Real death occurs when cell structure and chemistry become so disorganized that no technology could restore the original state. This is called the information-theoretic criterion for death. That is certainly the case for death pronounced on the basis of absent "vital signs" today. The object of cryonics is to prevent death by preserving sufficient cell structure and chemistry so that recovery (including recovery of memory and personality) remains possible by foreseeable technology
