X-Message-Number: 1424 Date: Fri, 11 Dec 92 16:41:57 EST From: Subject: CRYONICS freezing damage After reading Mike Darwin's informative and depressing posting about freezing damage, I'd like to know if there is any possibility of preserving neural connectivity by chemical preservation and storage above freezing? Obviously one totally loses any information encoded in reactive molecules if one pickles someone in formaldehyde, but can the cell membranes be preserved? Fractures at 5 micron intervals are going to leave an intimidating jigsaw puzzle. -Jeffrey Soreff standard disclaimer: I do not speak for my employer.
