Can someone tell me if Vitrification prevents the massive cell destruction that most of the commentors talk about. Isn't it time for someone to clarify to the media of the recent changes in suspension protocol and put some light on the subject. If it is not the case then I don't feel I should be considering myself as a potential cryonic candidate. Also, with the LJ situation, it would appear that what Alcor or CI or any facility needs so badly is money so we don't have to be held hostage to a situation whereby the lack of money and resources will probably doom the real prospect of successful suspensions. Any thoughts? Still waiting till things seem right in cryonic land.
