In addition, when we lost Jerry and Mike it took a while to find new qualified persons who could do the type of research that is needed. We have recenlty assembled a team we have confidence in. Therefore, Alcor has just started to build a new, larger lab. In addition, we were lucky enough to have a hospital that was moving donate a truckload of extra equipment to us. Construction should all be complete within 30 days. Earlier this year Alcor had a fundraising project where we were mildly successful in raising $40,000 for our operations. Now we are starting a second fundraising project to try to raise additional money for research. We know from experience that even when everything seems "right" there are still some people who would rather invest than donate. With this in mind, some Alcor members are forming a for-profit research company. We are building a lab for this company in the same building that Alcor is in. It should be completed in 30 days. The new company will focus on trying to develop vitrification for organ transplantation and developing other cryo-technologies. We know we have set a large goal. We will accept investments in this company, and we are trading some scientists and medical personnel company stock for their help. This company is forming now. If anyone wishes to know more about this, they should call me. This is not a solicitation for investment. Dave Pizer (602) 922-9013 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4501
