X-Message-Number: 12615 From: Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 06:32:51 EDT Subject: Question for Mike Darwin I commend intellectual honesty of Mike Darwin recent posts, #12464. His knowledge of cryobiological side of the problem is very impressive-#12595. However, I am puzzled. I'd like to ask you, Mike, do you think organ cryopreservation is possible at all? (Without nanotech, just using biological means). Is it true that most cryobioligists just gave up on organ cryopreservation? I thought that recent work by 21CM was close to success in vitrifying organs-am I wrong? What exactly is missing, in your opinion? I wish you good luck and hope your research will lead to finally achieving this elusive reversible cryopreservation. Alex Berg Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12615
