Disclaimer

Several companies now offer brain preservation services (aka biostasis) for human patients. The biostasis industry is presently quite young, with several new entrants, and quality-control practices vary among providers. The BPF has released a document outlining best practices that should be engaged in by all providers prior to any medical offering. Quoting from that document: “The entire procedure and associated quality control protocol should be tested in suitable laboratory animals and/or in human anatomical donations prior to any medical offering. The results of these studies should be published so that they can be reviewed by the wider medical community before any medical offering is made.”
