The second issue of the CryoCare newsletter ("CryoCare Report," #2) is
being printed and will be sent out by USMail within the next ten days. The
online version will be transmitted tonight. 

This issue contains a lengthy discussion of the hazards of accepting
last-minute cases for cryopreservation. We include the full text of our
guidelines for evaluating such cases, and discuss an actual case that
occurred in New Jersey last month. 

In addition, there is an article on Active Compression-Decompression CPR 
(a genuine breakthrough of vital interest to cryonicists), a report of the 
Venturist meeting in Arizona, and a short piece emphasizing the 
importance of informed consent in light of the recent Alcor case where a 
patient's relatives won a court action to inter her conventionally. Total 
length of the report is over 60 KB.

If you would like to receive CryoCare Report online (or if you think you 
are on our list, but your copy still hasn't turned up by Saturday) please 
send mail to
