Hi Yvan!

By now cryonics technology has advanced to a relatively high state from what
it was when I had a good hold on it (I've not been involved in any suspensions
for years).

However CO2 suffers from a very bad problem. It's just not cold enough. Sure,
it may be useful temporarily, but if it looked as if we really needed to 
make our own LN2 then I guess we'd just have to raise the money to do so.
The basic technology isn't any harder, but then to say that ignores all the
problems of implementation, which never seem to be trivial when you look at
them up close.

Either by luck or good planning, Alcor and the other societies have not
found themselves in that situation.

			Long long life,

				Thomas Donaldson
