Subject: SCI. CRYONICS Fahy's work

A couple of questions for Mike Darwin about Greg Fahy's work. (I could ask
Greg directly, of course, but I have the impression that taking time to
respond might be less burdensome for Mike than for Greg.)

Mike says Greg cooled rabbit kidneys to - 30C  with vitrifiable (high?)
concentrations of agent (glycerol ?) and got long term function in situ after
rewarming and flushing. 

How long were they at this temperature? 

Is there a known time limit for storage at this temperature?  

Were attempts made at lower temperatures?

Is enough non-proprietary information available to allow Europeans to do the
work the FDA will not allow here?
