The most interesting thing about this price point is that [...] On the first glance a good proposal, as at least one order of magnitude more patients can be packed in the same dewar volume. However, it seems the lone cryogenic medium cost is relatively small (although derived from interest solely) in relation to all assotiated ones. Hence, I think neurosuspensions will become singnificantly cheaper only when cryosuspension will become widesperead, not before. -- Eugene P.S. It seems the dice started rolling in Germany, too. Just a few days ago I got a letter concerning a tentative Munich cryonic society foundation. A delocalized cryonics infrastructure seems highly desirable in aspects to postmortem rapid response apart from increased reliability stemming from introduction of decentralized storage facilities. I'll keep you up to date if something ever comes out of it. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4872
