PHOENIX, Ariz. (October 4, 2004). At the conclusion of a hearing today in
Maricopa County Superior Court, Joseph Waynick, CEO of Alcor Life Extension
Foundation, made the following statement:

    "Alcor has honored the wishes of Ted Williams, his estate, his close
friend and personal representative, Al Cassidy, his children, and the Order
of the Florida Probate Court.  Alcor is further committed to abiding by the
orders of Judge Thomas Dunevant III.  In fact, Alcor filed for a final
judgment to expedite the release of the documents of gift to the plaintiffs.
Alcor will comply with the orders of this Court regarding media access to
records.  It is Alcor's intention to always honor our patients' and members'
wishes unless otherwise ordered by a court of law."

About Alcor Life Extension Inc. 

    The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in
1972, is the world leader in cryonics, and cryonics research and technology.
Cryonics is the science of using ultra-cold temperatures to suspend and
preserve human life.  The intent is that technologically advanced scientific
procedures will one day be available to revive cryopreserved humans and
restore them to good health.  

    The promise of cryopreservation has taken a quantum leap forward with
the ongoing development of molecular nanotechnology and the introduction of
vitrification to Alcor's protocols.

One use of nanotechnology is the expectation that cell-sized machines will
be developed to repair damage or cure disease at the cellular level,
including any potential damage that results from the cryopreservation
processes.    

    Alcor performed its first human cryopreservation in 1976. Since then,
Alcor has engaged in long-term patient care as well as cryopreservation
procedures. Among Alcor's scientific achievements is the use of advanced
cryoprotectant formulas capable of achieving ice-free preservation, known as
vitrification.

    Today, Alcor is the only full-service cryonics organization in
existence.  Alcor has more than 680 members from around the world and 65
patients in cryostasis.  For more information about Alcor and cryonics,
