The organizational situation in cryonics >(especially the people that comprise organizations) is very fluid. >Ten years ago (when cryonics was sharply polarized into the >Trans Time/ACS vs. Alcor camps) NOBODY would have believed that >in 1996 Trans Time and Alcor would cooperate in research, and >Mike Darwin would be divorced from Alcor and working for ACS! >Yet that's what happened, and cryonics is now bigger than ever. Brian's general point is absolutely correct. However, Alcor hasn't cooperated with *Trans Time* on research; we've cooperated with *BioTime,* the research company run by Paul Segall and Hal Sternberg. While there are some inter-relationships there, they are quite different and separate companies.
