What has to be done ASAP is not vitrification it is cooling.
You are right—what I should be saying is not that I’m concerned about the likelihood of hours without vitrification but that I am concerned about hours of autolysis occurring.
Yes, well, I think it’s safe to say that quite a few cryonics patients and orgs are concerned about that. There are complex technologies to prevent it, but also a simple one, widely available if you have any local cryonics group. It’s called crushed ice, and a lot of stores will sell it to you.
What we need are studies of damage from vitrification when the operation was not done immediately after death, but after few hours as it usually happens.
