X-Message-Number: 1947 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (Gregory Bloom) Subject: Radiation Message-ID: <> Date: Fri, 12 Mar 93 03:43:46 GMT Is there likely to be much accumulated molecular damage from radiation? I living tissue, enzymes continuously repair thimine dimers which can be formed by gamma radation. Is the accumulated damage from a couple centuries of cosmic-ray exposure likely to be a significant problem? If so, do the cryonics organizations take any precautions such as moving their patients underground for better shielding?
