CI does not do head-only suspensions. You may be right, or perhaps they can vitrify the head and do a less expensive technique to the rest of the body. >- It also says that Ted Williams was decapitated even though it goes on to >say that his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen at Alcor. Why would he >have been decapitated if he opted for full body suspension? I don't know if he was decapitated. I really can't say whether he was suspended at Alcor. Decapitation might make sense for full body cases if it helps to give a better treatment to the head than the rest of the body. -- Tim Freeman http://www.fungible.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30116
