I don't think dry ice may be used with current cryonics: It is indeed not cold enough. I was thinking about a new cryonics technological generation with cryoprotectors giving a full glassy state at dry ice temperature. Well, a LN2 may indeed be built near each cryonics facility. My dry ice maker holds in a hand and cost less than $75. Now if there is plenty of money, well, no problems with LN2. Please, dear rich cryonics organization, could you put some money in fully reversible cryonics, I can give you a good contact for that! The real problem is not LN2 vs CO2: The first is the today working technology, the second, a thinking about a possible technology. It may be not alone nor the last. What is important at that level is keeping thinking. Yvan Bozzonetti. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8457
