X-Message-Number: 24916 From: Subject: Another ACS/CI Patient Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 23:55:24 US/Eastern The American Cryonics Society has cryopreserved a Florida man who died of cancer using the services of the Florida cryopreservation research firm S-A. The man has become the 67th patient at the Cryonics Institute through a storage agreement with ACS. Although the man was in the hospital, no one was expecting the deanimation to come so quickly -- not S-A, the doctors and certainly not the man himself, who was quite lucid before his sudden deterioration. Nurses gave CPR, applied ice and called S-A, which was soon on the scene. S-A was expecting this man to deanimate about a year ago, but he recovered. Again, just before hurricane Ivan they prepared for his deanimation, but he recovered again. They had begun to prepare two weeks ago, but it had appeared that history was repeating itself yet again. It didn't. Those wishing to comment on this message are requested to refer to the Florida firm as S-A, so as not to alert search engines. -- Ben Best, President, Cryonics Institute Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24916
