To answer your question, Alcor or CI does not offer this service. However, there is a group of us who are trying to launch a business that would cultivate and cryopreserve cells of verious tissues from a person's body for future use in stem-cell based regenerative therapies. We will be offering the same service for pets as well. If you are interested in this, please contact me via email. Endless Petroleum: This is based on a controversial theory by Thomas Gold, who predicted that "depleted" oil reserves who fill up again. This theory has great relevance for Mars as well. As you know, the Martian meteorite found in the Antarctic had "poly-cyclic aromatic compounds" in it and that this was the evidence for past life on Mars. Well, "poly-cyclic aromatic compounds" is a fancy word for oil, which means that there is oil on Mars. The only question is, how did it get there? Was there life on Mars in the past, or is the oil of non-biological origin? This issue was brought up in a Wired interview with Thomas Gold. Since they used gamma-ray spectrometers to detect hydrogen on Mars. Perhaps it is not water that they are looking at, but forzen methane. So now we know that there is either lots of water or methane on Mars. ----------------------------------------------------------------- < C Yahoo! _ > www.yahoo.com.tw Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19227
