However I do start to feel a bit uneasy about the problem that unlike a flask of LN2 for neuropatients, you don't have a system which really works well for small numbers of patients. The issue of neuropatients is important, among other reasons, because Dora Kent still remains frozen because she was a neuropatient, and correspondingly mobile --- so she could be concealed in someone's closet. And since cryonic- ists still remain a small part of the population I don't see the possibility of such action becoming necessary yet again as a possibility that is very far out at all. Moreover, the economics of it become easier if single patient modules can be added for each patient, rather than building a big system which will remain almost empty for a long time. Can you devise a system for freezing at higher than LN2 that is at the same time compact and mobile? ? Best and long life, Thomas Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2149
