X-Message-Number: 1782 Date: 20 Feb 93 23:34:33 EST From: MICHAEL RISKIN <> Subject: CRYONICS: Re : Suspension temperatures With the following disclaimer, I will ask a simple question from a non-technical member. The disclaimer: I know nothing about" safe" cryonic preservation techniques. The question: There was cryonet discussion about a different possible suspension temperature to the one Alcor currently uses. In either case, liquid nitrogen was assumed to be the cooling agent. That seems odd to me. Isnt it preferable to first try to determine the temperature most appropriate for preservation and minimum damage, and then find the cooling medium best suited for that temperature?
