Everyone interested in cryonics or life extension is invited to attend. Current work in organ cryopreservation is at an advanced stage of development with research to reversibly vitrify rabbit kidneys very close to successful completion. The cryobiologist who is acting as scientific advisor to the Prometheus Project will describe how this work might be applied to the reversible cryopreservation of the brain and will also describe methods for demonstrating the restoration of mental faculties in such a recovered brain. He will also suggest methods for achieving the Project's ultimate goal, whole body suspended animation.
