There was an article in an English newspaper this year that incorrectly reported that BioTime Inc had frozen and restored a *baboon*. Incidentally, Trans Time must have made a lot of money from its holding in BioTime. Can't this be used for some cryopreservation research? Maybe they're doing it right now but are keeping quiet about it? BioTime shares are well down from their peak now, but it has been announced that options are being made available in the stock, which should recover sharply on any good news. The American Stock Exchange said it will list options on BIOTIME starting May 6. BioTime options will open with strike prices of 7-1/2, 10 and 12-1/2, with position limits of 7,500 contracts. Initial expiration months will be June, July, September and December of 1998.
