Building Local Cryonics Capabilities

Biostasis organizations cannot always get to patients immediately. Having a local capability to respond quickly, start cooling, and administer some medications can make a significant difference. Chuck Bartl started Minnesota Cryonics Rapid Response, a group that was involved in several cases soon after being started. In this interview, he explains the group’s capabilities and recent experiences, some of the difficulties and triumphs along the way, how to talk to funeral homes, and gives advice to others interested in starting their own local SST group or getting more involved in an existing local group. This interview provides some personal and practical input just as we have started the CryoRegistry.
