Subject: Visser information

With permission, I am summarizing/paraphrasing some information recently
received from Olga and Zigi Visser. Further details will appear in THE
IMMORTALIST and (I assume) in Alcor's publications.

1. The cryobiological work has been on hold because of pressure of the AIDS
work, but is expected to resume. Mrs. Visser still expects success with
hearts, including those of larger animals. 

2. The AIDS news seems very positive--medically, politically, and
financially. Their support is rapidly increasing, as well as their funding.
"Resistance is crumbling." There is further evidence of non-toxicity and high
efficacy. Their drug "Virodene" is nonmutagenic and noncarcinogenic in
primates. There are further specifics, not yet cleared for publication.
