Subject: CRYONICS: and _Engines of Creation_

Drexler, in _Engines of Creation_ describes the "state of the
art" in Biostasis in glowing terms compared to the discussion I
read in this mailing list (or in ALCOR's literature, for that
matter).  He describes fixation with glutaraldehyde and
vitrification with propylene glycol, ethylene glycol and dimethyl
sulfoxide as "adequate to insure long term biostasis" and claims
the "techniques are old."  With which claims do you
agree/disagree -- and why?
