X-Message-Number: 11098 Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 08:56:24 -0500 (EST) From: Ben Best <> Subject: Canadian Cryonics Dinner and Video Night On Sunday evening, January 24, 1999 there will be a VERY INFORMAL dinner at AIDA'S FALAFEL RESTAURANT, just east of Bathurst on Bloor Street in Toronto, Canada. This is a chance for people interested in all forms of Life Extension (including Cryonics) to get-together and discuss their views and experiences. Tables are reserved under the name Ben Best, and people are invited to arrive beginning at 6:30 p.m. There is no formal presentation or start time. Very inexpensive vegetarian dishes can be ordered at the counter and brought to the table (cafeteria-style). Or, people can simply buy a glass of juice and join in the discussion. Research spending on cryonics-related projects at 21st Century Medicine has now reached $2 million per year. Video tapes were made of research breakthroughs presented in Seminars by 21st Century scientists on November 8th. Those interested can see some of these videos in the apartment of Paul Wakfer, which is near AIDA's. We will go over to Paul's at around 8 pm. Topics of the videos include new vitrification solutions, ice-blockers, liquid ventilation, prevention of ischemic injury, a panel discussion of the prospects of suspended animation and views of the research facilities. Paul Wakfer is also involved in another research project taking place at a Southern California University: the cryopreservation of the hippocampus (the region of the brain involved in learning), and he will be able to share new information on that project. This is a non-smoking event. Bring your friends!
