The next step would be to see at cell wall preservation after a freezing thawing cycle. Emma Young in New Scientist ( July 8, P. 24 ) reports on the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess the quality of cell's membrane in thawed food. The same process could be used in cryonics to test swiftly many conservation protocols. It would be a key componement in any research on a better preservation. I recall Alcor has used MRI before on a cryonics research. who will use this oportunity to get a better cryonics service ? Y. Bozzonetti.
