Ufortunately, as far as I know, this is impossible--in part because of other 
parties involved, especially 21 CM, which, we are told, licenses products and 
procedures to Alcor and to Suspended Animation Inc. (in the latter case, we 
were told last May, without SAI even knowing what was in the solutions!).

I won't go into all the ramifications of that, but it is amusing to recall 
that, not so long ago, Platt was head of a different organization, CryoCare, 
which roundly proclaimed that IT was the unparalleled leader, having skimmed 
the cream off Alcor. At another point in Platt's career, he expounded in 
public his belief that NO available procedure offered an appreciable chance 
of success. (Incidentally, Suspended Animation Inc. calls itself the Premier 
Cryopreservation Service Provider, offering state-of-the-art etc. In 
advertising, there's plenty of room at the top.)

Mr Ettinger, I am curious about what exactly SAI is doing/has done for CI 
patients. I recall you stating previously that SAI has worked with CI one at 
least one patient. And from the above quote from you, it almost looks as if 
SAI is providing either cryopreservation/vitrification/cryopreservatives or 
vitrification fluids.  Are they/have they supplied materials and/or actual 
cryopreservative/vitrification assistance with CI patients?  What has SAI 
done for CI patients?
