June 5 (Reuters) - Danish drug developer Novo Nordisk said on Monday it had started talks to buy a controlling stake in French medical device designer Biocorp (ALCOR.PA). The price represents a premium of 19.5% over Biocorp's closing market price on June 2 and the transaction values Biocorp at about 154 million euros, the companies said. Certain minority shareholders, representing 19.0% of the share capital of Biocorp, will also transfer shares to Novo Nordisk and the transaction will be followed by a squeeze-out procedure. The block purchase should take place during the third quarter of 2023 and the filing of the subsequent offer should take place in September 2023, Novo said.

Peter Thiel says he's going to be cryogenically preserved, though he isn't sure if the tech works. Peter Thiel has confirmed that he's slated to be cryogenically preserved when he dies so he can be revived in the future. Weiss asked Thiel. When Weiss asked Thiel if he arranged for his loved ones to be frozen as well, he said he's "not convinced" the technology works as intended yet. Walt Disney is often erroneously cited as an example of a celebrity who was cryogenically preserved.

Kai Micah Mills is a rare cryonics entrepreneur in the latest batch of Thiel Fellows. His startup Cryopets aims to establish a chain of animal hospitals set up to freeze pets upon death. When he was 14, Kai Micah Mills brought home a long-haired tabby cat and named it Cat. Someday, he hopes to expand to human preservation, as the science matures and pet owners warm to the idea. Mills hasn't figured out a pricing structure yet, but says pet owners will make a payment that covers their pet's storage for as long as necessary.

Criogenizarea corpului uman și păstrarea acestuia la temperaturi scăzute îi permite să rămână în aceeași stare și să nu se descompună. Totodată, acești oameni trebuie să aibă o susținere financiară continuă pentru a rămâne criogenizați pe o perioadă nedeterminată. James Bedford, veteran din Primul Război Mondial, se numără printre cei îngropați într-un deșert din Arizona. Creierul a fost readus într-o stare aproape perfectă.
