Subject: SA Confirms My Opinion that CI-81 was Overpressurized

SA has recently published an addendum to their original case report on the CI-81
case. I assume this was in response to my comments on the original report. I 
believe their additional comments have only VALIDATED my original interpretation
of the report, and even more strongly believe CI-81 was subjected to excessive 
pressure via the improper use of a perfusion circuit, (I was educated in 
Perfusion Technology at Baylor College of Medicine, where I earned my BS degree,
and I have a decade of experience as a clinical perfusionist in open-heart 
surgery.)

You can read my detailed remarks on SA's addendum here:

The "standby, stabilization and transport" services Suspended Animation (SA) 
promises to CI and ACS clients are simply CPS and perfusion, (which is, itself, 
a form of CPS). These are not new procedures; they were virtually perfected, 
decades ago. The only things new, in regard to the washout procedure, 
("stabilization"), are the medications protocol and the degree of cooling.


SA has spent more than five years, and somewhere in the neighborhood of six 
MILLION dollars, building their own equipment and training shop workers and 
office personnel to perform these procedures on a very primitive and amateurish 
level. Only when cryonicists quit believing these procedures are totally unique,
embrace existing technologies and medical equipment, (not to mention medical 
professionals who ARE willing to participate!), and build on these things, will 
cryonics begin to make significant advances.
