I’ve been finding ChronoPause.com to be a very insightful blog. I can’t speak to the degree of bias of the author, but most of the posts I’ve read so far have been reasonably well cited.
I found it sort of terrifying to read the case reports he links in that comment—I read 101, 102, and 103, and it largely spoke to this being a distinctly amateur organization that is still running everything on hope and guesswork, not precise engineering/scientific principles.
Case 101 in particular sort of horrifies me for the aspects of preserving someone who committed suicide, without any consent from the individual in question. I can’t help but feel that “patient must be held in dry ice for at least two weeks” is also a rather bad sign.
Feel free to read them for yourself and draw your own conclusions—these reports are straight from CI itself, so you can reasonably assume that, if anything, they have a bias towards portraying themselves favorably.
