Charles,
That's interesting news.  You forgot the "Obcryo" (obligatory cryonics
significance) line, though, and there certainly is a relationship to
cryonics (unlike some of the recent messages on CryoNet).  From my
reading of message #2459 (Mike Darwin, Nov. 14, 1993) a member of
any cryonics organization who dies of Ebola virus almost certainly will
_not_ get cryopreserved.  The virus is just too dangerous for the
suspension team or anyone else to get near it.  Unless something has
changed in the last year and a half, Ebola cannot be contained effectively
yet, unlike other deadly diseases such as AIDS.
