Subject: Correction To My Response To Ettinger
From: "Joe Waynick" <>

I need to correct my previous response to Robert Ettinger on the topic of
Testing Solutions. When I agreed with Mr. Ettinger that  nobody has yet
vitrified a whole mammalian brain and quantified the results in various
segments and sub-segments," my intended statement was  nobody at Alcor 
has done such work.

I failed to mention that at 21CM numerous brains have been vitrified with
the M22 vitrification solution and analyzed in multiple brain areas using
scanning and transmission electron microscopy.  The results were presented
at Aubrey de Grey's meeting in Cambridge in 2003 with 21CMs generous
permission. See the following link:

and the results were also published in the open scientific literature in
2004. See the following link:

http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/annals.html.

I apologize for any confusion that has resulted from my error.

Joe Waynick, CEO/President, Alcor Life Extension Foundation
