X-Message-Number: 12336 From: Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 17:06:11 EDT Subject: Re: CryoNet #12322 - #12331 JUST TOO COOL Could someone address the current cryopreservation methods and provide some analysis as to why most of the commentary of late indicates it is very speculative that it might work. Is it possible we are doing more damage with the way the methodology is currently executed than without the protectants. Also, have there been any recent thaws of animals to determine the short term effects of cryopreservation? By the way, for active marketeers of cryopreservation services, all the money in the world based on fancy marketing and wasting of mucho $$ pales by comparison to some simple steps as mundane as a genuine interest in the possibly "client", ( and I don't use that term loosely- -for that is how the party should be treated) and a follow-up letter and even phone call to show some real interest. Cryonics necessarily has to be cool, but a little warmth prior to the cool seems to be good medicine for the living. Just a thought.
