Brian, Brian, Brian, you ought to know better than to disagree with Mike.
Mike Darwin has long developed the annoying habit of always being right.
So anyone who disagrees with him is automatically always wrong.

Quote from Ben Best in the November-December 2010 issue of Long Life:

"in about four months CI has taken-in six new patients. Five of those patients 
were recieved on dry ice, only the sixth was perfused."


Any alleged increases in concentrations of cryoprotectants during perfusion are 
moot, since 83% of CI's patients are currently not being perfused. The blunt 
fact of the matter is that CI has devolved into a Cryo-cemetery for mostly 
straight frozen corpses. Mike has commented before on the divorce between 
Cryonics Science, which is improving, and clinical practice, which is - as Mike 
has stated, is deteriorating.
