Extractions: Molecular Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Research Group Knowing and understanding the thermophysical properties of fluids and solids, respectively, is essential for designing efficient chemical processes and for developing new materials. Our research investigates the thermophysical properties of fluids and solids at a molecular level, and uses molecular-thermodynamic models and statistical-mechanical principles. Molecular simulations are important to our research. Using advanced methods and powerful computers, we examine molecular motion and probe the microscopic structure of fluids and solids. Based on these studies, we try to explain and predict the macroscopic behavior of these systems. These predictions are then compared to our experimental laboratory data.

Conservation Of Endangered Animals By Using Sperm And Embryo Freezing
A project to preserve several endangered mammals of far northern Europe, using cryopreservation. At the University of Kuopio, Finland.
http://fibre.utu.fi/proj/35.htm

Extractions: There is an urgent need to protect and conserve endangered wildlife in the world. The traditional means of doing this is to regulate human use of specific species or nature areas by legislation. However, the changes in environment and other circumstances have driven man into a situation where it is impossible to stop destruction of many species without special conservation programs. These programs have traditionally included breeding animals in captive surroundings, which again often is very difficult and limits the number of individuals thus restricting the genetic basis. A decrease in the genetic variation in a population results finally in failures in reproduction and total vitality. The modern techniques make it possible to preserve large gene materials by freezing sperm or gametes. Sperm freezing, artificial insemination and embryo transfer are routine methods in several domestic species and applications of these techniques may also be used in wild species. However, reproduction physiology is quite species-specific and before any technique can successfully be applied, the main reproduction features like seasonality, estrous cycling, timing of ovulation and fertilization, sperm production and quality etc. must be examined in target species or at least in a nearby relative species. Thus it gives remarkable benefit to research if a domestic and easily available species for experiments exists. By using this type of model species, progress in research is fast and effective and saves the rare endangered individuals from experimental work until the last steps.

Cryonics And Cryptography
Cryonics, Cryptography, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation, a paper by Ralph Merkle, Ph.D.
http://merkle.com/merkleDir/cryptoCryo.html

Extractions: by Ralph C. Merkle Xerox PARC , 3333 Coyote Hill Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94304. This paper was published in the Proceedings of the First Extropy Institute Conference, held at Sunnyvale, California in 1994. Some changes have been made to this version. A more general overview of the technical feasibility of cryonics is available at http://www.merkle.com/cryo/techFeas.html Most people, if they think of cryonics at all, think of Woody Allen in Sleeper , Sigorney Weaver in Aliens , or Mel Gibson in Forever Young . The hero, after spending decades or centuries in the deep freeze, thaws out gradually and somewhat painfully. Rather stiff from the cold, the warmth of the new era slowly penetrates into their chilled limbs until they at last stretch and look about the world with renewed interest and vitality. Not! All in all, our hero is not going to simply thaw out and walk off. And yet the literature on freezing injury, on ischemia, and on the other damage likely caused by a cryonic suspension forced me to conclude that cryonics would almost surely work: how can this be? Fundamentally, people are made of molecules. If those molecules are arranged in the right way, the person is healthy. If the're arranged in the wrong way, the person is unhealthy or worse. While a surgeon's knife does indeed rearrange molecular structure, it does so only in the crudest fashion. The living tissue itself is what really arranges and rearranges the intricate and subtle molecular structures that underlie life and health. When the tissue is too badly damaged, when intracellular levels of ATP are too low to provide the energy the tissue needs to function, when its own internal structure is disrupted, it can no longer heal itself. Today's surgical tools, gross and imprecise at the cellular and molecular level, can no more aid in this process than a wrecking ball could be used to repair a Swiss watch.

An extensive list of links to cryonics articles and to European sites related to cryonics.
http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Individual/Cryonics/

Extractions: Mark Dowdey While most transhumanists are quite convinced that life extension will be possible, most agree that it will take several years (or decades/centuries) before immortality becomes practical. And in the meantime there is a non-zero chance that you die from accidents or disease, regardless of how healthy your lifestyle is. One answer to this problem is cryonics , or rather cryonic suspension ; the technique of freezing the body to so low temperatures that it does not decay significantly. If misfortune strikes, you could be suspended until medical techniques have been developed far enough to revive you and cure you. Cryonics is currently a big gamble, and even the enthusiasts acknowledge that there are many unsolved problems. But there is little to loose by choosing cryonic suspension: either it will work and restoration methods will be developed and used in the far future, or it won't: You are suspended You are not suspended Cryonics Works You Live You are dead Cryonics Doesn't Work You are dead You are dead So the rational choice is to use cryonics, even if success is improbable, unless you consider the value of your life times the chance that it might work to be less than the cost of a suspension.

http://cryo.secureid.org/

Extractions: Login [Dansk] Cryonics has been defined as "the technology for freezing a person after a terminal illness or a fatal accident, in the hope that medical science will be able to revive that person in the future, when life extension and anti-aging have become a reality". Cryonic suspension is an emergency medical procedure designed to save lives (much like Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), a last-ditch effort to forestall irreversible brain damage. Since the first individual was cryonically preserved in 1967, a handful of firms have sprung up offering cryopreservation and/or storage services to the general public. (Badger, 1998) This web site is maintained by the Danish Cryonics Support Group (DCSG). It consists primarily of Danish members of the Cryonics Institute (CI) and those interested in becoming members of a suspension organization. People wishing to be kept up to date about activities should sign up for site membership. This is not the same as membership in the Danish Cryonics Support Group. Site membership permits reading and responding in the discussion forum. No messages are sent from this site except upon request, and they can be turned off at any time (see Policies below). The membership list is not public. As part of its public information program, lectures are available on a variety of topics, including technologies related to life-extension (genetic engineering, anti-ageing drugs, nanotechnology, cryonic suspension, health informatics), social implications of these new technologies, and philosophical foundations of the movement.
