Thanks for any >help that anyone can give me on this topic. While there is a large base of peer-reviewed literature on the subject of cryobiology (biology in general at low temperatures), there is little formally published material on cryonics (freezing people and brains for future reanimation). In fact, there are only two papers I am aware of in the general scientific literature that discuss cryonics. They are Drexler K E, "Molecular Engineering: An Approach to the Development of General Capabilities for Molecular Manipulation" PNAS (USA), 78: 5275-5278 (1981). Merkle R C, "The Technical Feasibility of Cryonics" Medical Hypotheses, 39: 6-16 (1992). Drexler's nanotechnology book, Engines of Creation, also has an excellent chapter on cryonics. There is a much larger base of privately published, or electronically published literature on cryonics. The Alcor Life Extension Foundation has a rich collection of hardcopy publications on all aspects of cryonics. (Write to ). Perhaps the most up-to-date information can be found at the Web site of the CryoCare Foundation (URL below), including the ongoing series of technical monographs ("BPI Tech Briefs") published by BioPreservation, the world's most advanced cryonics service and research company (IMHO). *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Your Gateway to the Future http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5718
