It doesn't even matter who perfects it. We need and will need in the future a way of long term organ and tissue storage. Assuming that the only role is to freeze moribund beings for later cure, is really limited thinking. Eventually rescue squads will use cryopreservation to rescue trauma patients. In the new Emergency Department, nanomachines will repair the trauma damage. The only way nanotechnology can effectively work is on a stable platform. This means near 0 Kelvin. The 2 fields (nanotechnology and cyronics) are intimately related. James R Hughes, MD Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12301
