X-Message-Number: 3123 Date: Mon, 12 Sep 1994 20:45:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Subject: CRYONICS Date sent: 12-SEP-1994 19:46:36 I RECEIVED your letter and would like to get all information available. I have been a member of the ACS for several years. Recently I downloaded your archive. I read Micael Darwin's research on cats. His results were probable a shock to him and others. I have Bs., Bs.(Honors) in Biochemistry aswell as a Ms. in science. I also worked two years towards a Phd. but did not finish. At the present I am a certified Science Teacher. It is IMPORTANT to know if amphibians already at -30C in their naturally frozen state have been cooled to -196C. I noticed on sci.cryonics news some one claim it was fatal. I am not convinced. I WOULD VERY VERY MUCH like to read the research myself if it exists because I think it is futile to work on animals, using synthetic cryoprotectant, when animals such as the amphibians with natural cryoprotectants can not be revived. supporters of cryonics such as I are only playing games to fool them selves. I think all research should be concentrated to achieve this FIRST before the next step (using cryoprotectants on mammals). If anyone knows where I can find this research let me please know. Thanks.
