Subject: High Pressure Cryonics postscript


    I appreciate Robert Horley's interest in my "High Pressure Cryonics"
posting of 30-Sept-1994. However, there WAS follow-up on this thread --
comments by Hugh Hixon among others, and further analysis of my own. I
don't have the CRYOMSG reference numbers, but perhaps Kevin Brown could
help you find them.

     The best summary of the CryoNet postings (including further revisions)
appeared in the Autumn 1994 issue of CANADIAN CRYONICS NEWS. In the Winter
1995 issue of CCN the topic was carried further in response to a letter
to the editor from a noted cryobiologist. He correctly pointed-out that
Hergenhahn's table is based on fusion rather than vitrification. (Note
also that phase diagrams are for ice rather than for vitrified solids.)
But the comment made me think that Hergenhahn's idea may be even more
feasible than I had thought.

     Anyone interested in the details of these topics can subscribe to
CANADIAN CRYONICS NEWS and ask to begin the subscription with the 
aforementioned back-issues:

     If I look further into the High Pressure Cryonics idea in the 
near future I expect that it will be in CANADIAN CRYONICS NEWS rather
than on CryoNet.
