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. 
J. Coetzee.
