Freezing destabilizes the membranes which causes the cytoplasm to leak out. By finding a membrane stabilizer the damage can be stopped. As long as scientists try to solve the "mechanical damage" problem cryonics will remain elusive. Basie Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24516
