X-Message-Number: 7449 From: (Brian Wowk) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Re: freezing suggestions Date: 7 Jan 97 16:38:08 GMT Message-ID: <> References: <> Polydimethyl siloxanes (silicone oils that are physically similar to freons) are now used by most cryonics organizations for sub-zero cooling of cryonics patients. The only difference between your suggestion and contemporary cryonics practice is that the skull and viscera are not opened to improve cooling because the small improvement would not justify the surgical complications and cooling delays they would entail. *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Human Cryopreservation Services http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7449
