X-Message-Number: 9516 Date: Sat, 18 Apr 1998 18:14:53 -0400 From: Saul Kent <> Subject: Peter Merel's Confusion Peter Merel quotes material from CryoCare's web site, which he correctly says is out of date, and says he is still confused about the roles that various companies are going to play in the cryonics movement. I believe my previous post on the subject was clear, but perhaps it wasn't. Again. 21st Century Medicine (21CM) is a research company. BioPreservation (BioP) offers cryopreservation services. In about 11 months, BioP will no longer be responsible for any organization's cryonics services, although its staff will be available to some degree to consult on human cases. BioTransport is a new company now being formed to offer cryopreservation services. The intent of BioTransport is to make these services available to all cryonics organizations. That's the plan in a nutshell. However, things are currently in flux, and it's not yet clear how things will be sorted out in the coming year. Stay tuned. ---Saul Kent, CEO 21st Century Medicine Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=9516
