For neuropatients the perfusion concentrates on the head, without being slowed down by having to perfuse the rest of the body. - less portable. Whole bodies need cranes to move. Neurocans can be handled by one person. During an emergency like fire, earthquake, riots.... portability could be very important. Whole body is a whole load of risks - and it costs more. > whole body suspension? For me, yes. Michael Price Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3661
