Alex Anderson Scathorn

Alex Anderson Scathorn (September 20, 1977 - November 9, 2069) was an American businessman and political figure from New York who served as the seventh Superintendent of Financial Services for the state of New York. He was the first person to be successfully resuscitated following cryonic preservation.

Scathorn entered cryonic stasis at the Regeron Foundation in 2032 after learning that he would die before he would make it to the top of the list for a heart transplant. At the time, cryonic preservation had not been successfully performed, and he was declared legally dead upon entering stasis. He was successfully resuscitated one year after his entrance, with no apparent damage aside from mild cerebral hemorrhaging, determined to be a side effect of the resuscitation process.

He was able to get his heart after a court battle affirmed that his removal from the list was unjust as he was ultimately still alive.
