Thomas Donaldson thinks CI and Alcor should share information, with "confidentiality agreements worked out beforehand." Ufortunately, as far as I know, this is impossible--in part because of other parties involved, especially 21 CM, which, we are told, licenses products and procedures to Alcor and to Suspended Animation Inc. (in the latter case, we were told last May, without SAI even knowing what was in the solutions!). ... I won't go into all the ramifications of that, but it is amusing to recall that, not so long ago, Platt was head of a different organization, CryoCare, which roundly proclaimed that IT was the unparalleled leader, having skimmed the cream off Alcor. At another point in Platt's career, he expounded in public his belief that NO available procedure offered an appreciable chance of success. (Incidentally, Suspended Animation Inc. calls itself the Premier Cryopreservation Service Provider, offering state-of-the-art etc. In advertising, there's plenty of room at the top.) >>>> Mr Ettinger, I am curious about what exactly SAI is doing/has done for CI patients. I recall you stating previously that SAI has worked with CI one at least one patient. And from the above quote from you, it almost looks as if SAI is providing either cryopreservation/vitrification/cryopreservatives or vitrification fluids. Are they/have they supplied materials and/or actual cryopreservative/vitrification assistance with CI patients? What has SAI done for CI patients? --part1_1dc.63ebdb0.2bb5e742_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21492
