JDG Cryogenics (short for Jackson-Del Greco) was the name of a cryonics firm that offered a chance for people with terminal diseases to be cured. It was founded in 1986 by Anne Del Greco and Bob Jackson, two visionaries who believed that cures for several major diseases and disorders were right around the corner, and that they could successfully freeze and revive those awaiting these cures who might not live otherwise. While their ideas were viable, neither had enough capital to start the project. Jane Kennedy, a wealthy woman suffering from a number of incurable tumors, heard of their efforts and offered her financial backing. Del Greco and Jackson quit their day jobs and began the research in earnest.
