  I've been slowly plodding along with some fly toxicity experiments to
help things move along a bit. I believe I've some minor success, and this
will be reported on in future fly longevity updates. Cryoprotectant
toxicity is the only remaining significant block to successful reversible
whole organ cryopreservation.
  Paul's funding problems I attribute to the all-or-nothing nature of 
reversible organ cryopreservation. Either you succeed and become wealthy
or you don't, and wind up with nothing. 21'st Century Medicine will likely
be the victor, in any case in the race for the perfection of reversible
cryopreservation.
