X-Message-Number: 7015 Date: 03 Oct 96 22:31:56 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Prometheus Project NoCal Meeting Prometheus Project Public Meeting in Sunnyvale, California The featured speaker at this meetings will be an expert in cryobiology who will speak about the science aspects of the Prometheus Project. Paul Wakfer, founder of the Project will also be on hand to provide information on other aspects of the Project and to give an update on the progress of the pledge campaign and it promtion plans. Everyone interested in life extension is invited to attend. The Prometheus Project is an exciting new proposal to convincingly demonstrate and publish in scientific journals, the fully reversible, long-term cryopreservation of a mammalian brain. This Project, which is expected to take 10 years and to cost $1,000,000 per year, is currently in its pledge campaign phase. The Project's scientific and business plans are being developed while the pledge campaign is in progress. When sufficient pledges have been made, a for-profit corporation will be formed to conduct the Project research and the pledgers will be invited to purchase shares. After three months of effort on the Internet, $3,087,000 has been pledged by more that 50 people. Current work in organ cryopreservation is at an advanced stage of development with research to reversibly vitrify rabbit kidneys very close to successful completion. The cryobiologist who is acting as scientific advisor to the Prometheus Project will describe how this work might be applied to the reversible cryopreservation of the brain and will also describe methods for demonstrating the restoration of mental faculties in such a recovered brain.
