X-Message-Number: 14970 From: "john grigg" <> Subject: the vitrification breakthrough Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 01:15:19 Hello everyone, I just wanted to say how excited I am about Alcor's proclamation regarding the development and future implementation of vitrification technology!! I thought I heard trumpets blare as I read the post! I see that there are still things to be worked out but still these are very exciting times. It is great to see the cryonics research community and Alcor come through for us all in such an impressive way. I have been wondering about the problem of vitrification macrofracturing. Could a "dewar within a dewar" storage device be developed to insulate and protect the vitrified brain from liquid nitrogen temperatures? Again, my deepest thanks to everyone involved. This proves that cryonicists can get things done for the greatest good of everyone. sincerely, John Grigg _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
