Subject: about 21st Century Medicine's advances

Hi everyone!

I too look forward to wider application of the cryoprotectants and
perfusion technology created by 21st Century Medicine. Yes, it may not be
immediate; the first thing to do is to try these methods on brains.
(There was a time lapse between the first Wright brothers flight and 
the use of 747's, after all).

There is also some question in my own mind about whether or not some of
the perfusion methods described will prove to be patentable ... but even
the cryoprotectants alone make a big advance.

As for congratulations, it seems to me that the most congratulations are
due to Saul Kent and Bill Faloon, who funded 21st Century Medicine in the
first place. Yes, such advances do require redoubtable technical and
scientific knowledge, too, but they could not have occurred without 
funding ... and in my own personal estimation, they might have occurred
as long as 10 years ago, if only the funding had then existed.

			Best and long long life to all,

				Thomas Donaldson
