The most prolific publisher of cryonics research in the last few years has not been Alcor, but BioPreservation, Inc. (BPI). In fact, at this very moment in the sci.cryonics newsgroup there is a report by BPI of a major technical breakthrough in respiratory support and cooling of cryonics patients. If you would like a URL by which to the judge the technical seriousness of cryonics, I suggest http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/bpi/bpi.html *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Gateway to the Future http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6028
