X-Message-Number: 23357 From: Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2004 00:18:07 EST Subject: Aorta reference Hello all: In speaking and writing letters supporting cryonics I often mention that conventional medicine freezes, stores, and successfully thaws tissues as large as an aorta (which is about the size of a forked section of garden hose.) I say this because I read it somewhere, but I now cannot find the reference. I checked on Google and found a tissue supply house, which I think advertised veins. But when I emailed them about aortas they did not respond. I checked old issues of Journal of Cryobiology (I think that's the name) but found nothing. It is important, if challenged, to be able to point to a paper in a respected conventional journal or textbook. Does anyone know a good source for aortas at LN temperatures? And while we're at it, for the largest animals recovered from those temperatures too? Any help appreciated, Alan Mole Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23357
