It was legal in the Northern Territories for a few months, but this was overruled by the feds. >Can it be done without damage for Cryonics-perfusion and reanimation? Since barbiturates are currently used for cryonics (partly for brain preservation and partly to make sure the patient doesn't wake up from the rescuscitation), I would think that barbiturates would be a pretty good method to use. However, I do not have the background to answer this question. I hope that somebody else who does could possibly let us know what would be the ideal method of assisted termination for cryonics purposes.
