Good article outlining the S-MIX as a standard quantitative measure of ischemic damage in Cryonics, along with protocols to keep this damage as close to zero as possible. The S-MIX quantification helps move Cryonics into the realm of mainstream medicine and provides a metric for cryopreservation quality. Assisted suicide as a legal, ethical, moral necessity will help us keep the S-MIX optimal, and should be supported by our community. Bravo for your work, Aschwin!
This is why there is a general anesthetic in both the human biostasis and current cryonics protocols. In fact, a general anesthetic is the first medication to be administered in cryonics SST protocol; to prevent consciousness and to depress cerebral metabolism:
