X-Message-Number: 28242 Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2006 07:36:49 -0700 (PDT) From: human screener <> Subject: ThT: TimesUK article-->Cryonics for Frozen Embryos Continued from http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=28223 Here's a little update on this entire train of thought that I've been going through in this series of posts-- It now appears to me as though a Cryonics for Frozen Embryos program is going to be inevitable-- sooner or later. All the related pieces have been falling into place in my mind over the past several days. The possible implications for cryonics are startling. Read this article in the latest issue of Mother Jones [24] that I believe will pursuade you that there is an opportunity for cryonics to step in here. Regardless of the inevitable rejection and resistance of the concept by most cryonicists, there is a crying need in the DNA-screening and IVF markets -- if that's language you're comfortable with-- for a really long term frozen embryo tissue storage solution beyond 5 years that gives parents peace of mind by assuring them that all efforts will be made to bring their frozen embryos to term asap-- whether that's next week or 10, 20-- 100 years from now. A cryonics firm that jumps into this fray will create instant noteriety and have 500,000 instant leads in the U.S. alone-- as well a possible phone call from the Pope. Thanks to Ettinger and Seidel for their feedback on the possible positions of the cryonics firms regarding frozen embryos. [22][23].
