One thing I forgot to mention.  Oregon Cryo will probably use a
combination of chemical fixation (gluteraldehyde) and vitrification for
our biostasis protocol.  I believe in over engineering everything.  We
are interested in preserving structure, and chemical fixation is very
good at that.  Current vitrification techniques will require
nanotechnology anyway, so a few cross links shouldn't slow them down
any.
