I have a query for the technical people: How much ultrastructural damage occurs during suspension? Mike Darwin suggests that, with current techniques, all that's left is a jumble of cell bits. (If true, this lends uncomfortable support to the hamburger criticism.) If things are that bad, then a nano-technology jigsaw solver would seem to be the only hope. On the other hand, if the damage is "merely" most neurons severed in a few places, but most synapses intact, then a non-nanotechnology solution seems possible. What's the story? How bad are things? Steve Harris? Art Quaife? Rich Schroeppel Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1340
