From whom did you learn this? On what date? This kind of statement is not very persuasive if you don't name a source. Moreover, since you are making statements that tend to denigrate the work of the scientists involved, it would be advisable to verify the statements before posting them. > What they have done is load and unload kidneys with a "vitrifiable > concentration" of perfusate, with 100% survival. In other words, zero > toxicity--but not vitrification, and not at temperatures even as low as that > of dry ice. Again, where is your source? Did you actually bother to pick up the phone and call anyone at the lab? If so, did you make a note of what the people at the lab actually said to you? I await your answer with interest. --CP Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21512
