X-Message-Number: 5109 From: Date: Sun, 5 Nov 1995 11:19:18 -0500 Subject: Perry & Darwin questions Thanks to Mike Perry for #5105 on dendritic spines. May we use this for THE IMMORTALIST? Thanks to Mike Darwin for #5096 on the status of Greg Fahy's work and related matters. May we use this (or excerpts etc.) for THE IMMORTALIST? Wistful thought: Maybe Fahy and Ruggera will get the Nobel for the kidney work. Seems important enough, in light of the number of kidney transplants needed. Probably 10 years or more down the line, even if it happens; but it would be an enormous boost for cyonics, in several ways. On hyperbaric numbers etc.: Mike Darwin says he has a hyperbaric chamber and accessories maybe large enough for a human brain. Mike, do you have experimental numbers on pressures needed for cooling (say) rodent brains, without freezing, down to temperatures where freezing will be complete when the pressure is released? If not, do you or your associates have time and interest in finding these numbers? If you need money, how much? Robert Ettinger Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5109
