X-Message-Number: 2926 Subject: CRYONICS:CryoCare Report #2 From: (Charles Platt) Date: Thu, 21 Jul 94 17:20:03 EDT 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 ##################################################################### Charles Platt / 9 Patchin Place / New York, NY 10011 / (212) 929 3983 / / fax: (212) 929 4467 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2926
