X-Message-Number: 11013 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: thanks also to Brian Wowk Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 23:59:58 +1100 (EST) Hi! I should have mentioned you in my last Cryonet message, and this one is to repair the lack. You have, in the midst of other comments, answered some of my questions about vitrification, particularly the range of temperatures within which cracking does not occur. At one time there were several long discussions on Cryonet as to ways by which we could set up passive systems which would keep temperatures within the required range. This discussion basically petered out. However if the temperature of vitrification remains higher than that of LN2, depending on refrigerators may not be a good long term solution for cryonics. Perhaps that discussion should be reawakened. (And cryonics includes suspended animation here, so long as the patient was in suspended animation for a condition not presently curable for which no one could predict the time at which a cure might arrive). Best, thanks again, and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11013
