He feels overloaded and burned-out, and thinks cryonics is not going to be a viable option for himself for practical (political, social, economic) reasons and that he is not going to spend the time he had left trying to obtain the impossible. He is also concerned with the commercial and political aspects within cryonics.<ref name="cryonet23124"/>

| 1976-07-16 || cryonics || technological adoption || || {{W|Alcor Life Extension Foundation}} || Alcor carries out the first human cryopreservation where cardiopulmonary support is initiated immediately post pronouncement and is continued until the patient is cooled to 15°C (~400 minutes) and where a scientifically designed custom perfusion machine with heat exchanger was used to carry out cryoprotective perfusion (as opposed to an embalming pump) with control over flow, pressure and temperature and incorporating a bubble trap was used. This is also the first neurocryopreservation (head only) patient. The patient was the father of Fred Chamberlain, the co-founder of the organization.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Chamberlain|first=FRC|last2=Chamberlain|first2=LLC|date=July 16-17, 1976|title=Alcor patient A-1001 Case Notes|url=|journal=Alcor Foundation|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref><ref name="BenBestCryonicsHistoryImmortalist"/>
