cryopreservation technology]

That is not true.  CI has had no such offer, or anything resembling it. There 
have only been vague statements that 21CM plans to use Advanced BioSciences 
to market 21CM cryopreservation technology, and that BioTransport may be a 
customer, and that BioTransport is negotiating contracts with Alcor and 
CryoCare, and that later on there will be offers or negotiations for other 
cryonics organizations.

Meanwhile, we plan to test the glycol ethers etc. as our resources permit, 
and will make changes in our procedures as seems warranted. Eventually we 
expect to offer CI members all the options that exist, anywhere, at the best 
prices we can.
