(Bagnell, p. 14) It would probably be best to either leave this out or add an additional comment. It is not a sensible or a scientific comparison - people who have been cryopreserved have been carefully treated with a view to reanimation, whereas hamburgers are made by first cutting up cows and grinding them to a paste which is re-constituted to make the hamburger. The grinding process is not part of cryonics. -- Sincerely, **************************************** * Publisher of Longevity Report * John de Rivaz * Fractal Report * * details on request * **************************************** In the information age, sharing can increase world wealth enormously, because giving information does not decrease your information. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR Fast loading, very few slow pictures Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7337
