Frozen life extension eyed by transplant pioneer
Washington AP reports Dr. Richard Lillehei of the University of Minnesota predicted future use of suspended animation for organ failure victims and space travelers. He said deep freezing could preserve bodies and organs without aging, enabling thaw and recovery after replacement organs or long interstellar voyages. The concept raises ethical questions, but scientists at the first annual meeting of the Society for Cryobiology discussed advances, including prolonged kidney preservation and headway in transplanting from cadavers. The next meeting was set for September 22 at the Saco GAR hall.
