Subject: tissue storage at CI

See the CI web site
 
_www.cryonics.org/dna.html_ (http://www.cryonics.org/dna.html) 
 
Specifically mentioned are tissue samples of hair, skin, or inner cheek,  for 
possible uses including cloning, although CI itself does not do cloning or  
even advocate it.
 
I don't recall the exact wording of our policy, if one has been formally  
adopted, but I see no reason why CI should not or could not accept frozen  
embryos, or frozen sperm or eggs. The preparation of the specimens would be  

entirely up to the member, CI merely accepting them for liquid nitrogen storage.
At 
the other end, CI would merely release the specimens to the owner according  
to contract and would have no part in later events (unless of course by later  
agreement).
 
R.E.
