X-Message-Number: 7022 Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 19:38:19 -0500 (CDT) From: MAC TONNIES <> Subject: RE: CryoNet #7021 Have any efforts been made to sythesize industrial quantities of amber resin? I feel that immersing would-be cryonics patients in amber would prove more ultimately successful than conventional liquid nitrogen storage. Perhaps the amber needed to preserve a human body could be derived from genetically-modified trees. There was some brief excitement last summer re. amber, I think, after "Scientific American" ran an article about trapped insects. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mac Tonnies #415 Franken Hall Northwest Missouri State University Maryville, MO 64468 (816) 562-6488 http://www.nwmissouri.edu/~0212104/apu.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7022
