	Congratulations to CI and Alcor for forging a link
with Olga Visser and her lab.  It's rare and refreshing to see
cryobiologists from conventional medicine take an active interest
in cryonics.  Let us hope this trend continues.

	Now that CI and Alcor have knowledge of her method, I 
hope they will take the opportunity to experimentally study
the method at cooling rates compatible with cryonics, and publish
the brain electron micrographs so obtained.  Hypothermic washout
studies might also be performed to assess the CNS toxicity of the
CPA.   

	Good luck with these studies.
