	BioTime is a low-temperature medicine research firm started by
Trans-Time affiliated cryonics researchers Paul Segal, Hal Sternberg,
and Harold Waitz.  They successfully raised millions in venture capital

in the late 80's (originally poured into a company called Cryomedical Sciences)
after national media exposure of a biologically-mediocre dog hypothermia
experiment.  (They recovered a dog after 20 minutes of hypothermic
circulatory arrest, while rival cryonics groups had in fact gotten dogs
back after FOUR HOURS of arrest years earlier, but without the media hoopla.)

	BioTime is now a public company listed on the NASDAQ.  I don't
know if they have any marketable products yet.
