X-Message-Number: 6412 Date: 28 Jun 96 19:10:11 EDT From: Michael Darwin <> Subject: CRYONICS:Correction Thomas Donaldson's "speculation" that there may have been editorial "interference" in the article "by Mike Darwin" which appeared in Life Extension Magazine is correct. The article was based on a TAPED monologue with an LEF writer. It was then "rewritten" by the writer to make it "understandable" to the public. It was then submitted to me for corrections (which I made). It then went back to LEF where it was edited a final time (without my seeing it) and printed. It was very painful to look at the article and I admit I gave it only one read-through, but DO remember correcting that error. For the record, I DID NOT say Greg Fahy has vitrified kidneys, and I DO NOT believe this to be true. Further, I personally (unsupported opinion only) predict major technical difficuilties with rewarming of intact kidneys which, while they will likely be overcome, will take much added time and money. I am not the optimist here at all. Finally, *most* of the rest of the LEF article was reasonably accurate. I consented to the interview/article only in exchange for some very costly liquid ventilation medium which I wanted. I expected to "pay" for it further with this kind of problem. Well, at least now everyone knows how cheap a whore I am ;-)) Mike Darwin Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6412
