hi...anyone ever try using a very high magnetic field to polarize water
molecules at moment of vitrification to prevent destructive
random/opposing oriented ice crystal seeds...sounds like cryo-protective
proteins/chemicals/snake-oils just aren't cutting it...distribution of it
evenly and over all vital areas seems problematic...not to mention ill
effects on the biological system by the agents themselves...would be
interested in hearing a calculation on the magnitude of power it would
take to produce that field strength (over about a human-sized cylindrical
suspension vat)...as for the thaw, with any luck at some point in the
future methods would be available to minimize thermal runaway...guess a
big reason for there being research on this subject at all (and a
newsgroup) is that there're a lot of people extremely unhappy with
1995...i'd love to be able to see beyond my years...slight element of risk
could be overlooked with this alternative of being doomed to live out the
remainder of my life here in the dark ages...god knows i could use the
sleep anyway.
