- I quote from a blurb in today's time magazine: "... a group of U.S. biologists
- has found a way to freeze living [fruit] fly embryos. Not only does that
- guarantee a stable fly supply, but it is a landmark achievement in another
- sense: fruit flys are the most complex organisms ever to be lab frozen and
- revived. The technique could lead, albeit far down the road, to the freezing
- of mammals -- even humans, maybe."
-
- Does anyone know the who/what/when/where/how of this "landmark achievement?"

- P.S. My congratulations and thanks to this net community for its handling
- of the "Poisonous Little Ice Dwarves" post. Most net groups would go
- immediately to flaming, but this one generated not a one.
