I live in France, far from CI Head Quarter. I assume there is no 

cryoprotectant anywhere on continental Europe. Would not be wise to have some 
stuff here? 
Do you sell this product?

Having at hand some product could be useful when looking at local funeral 

directors. for them, here, cryonics is sci-fi, not serious business. The same 
can 
be said for the medical profession. A real product would do more to convince 
them than any discourse.

I could try to build a network for cryonics service here, but it can't be 
done with words only.

Would you help?
