I read some posts from earlier this month in which it was said that teams exist 
in hospitals that can attach patients in cardiac arrest to portable perfusion 
machines. It was suggested that these teams could be used in cryonics. That left
me wondering why such teams aren't used routinely in hospitals. Why on TV shows
do we see doctors doing futile CPR and then calling "time of death" rather than
attaching patients to perfusion machines while their hearts are stopped to buy 
more time?
