| 1972 || cryonics || technological adoption || || Trans Time || A collaborative working group led by Trans Time President Art Quaife and consisting of Gregory Fahy, Peter Gouras, M.D., Fred, and Linda Chamberlain and Mike Darwin begin working on a standardized protocol for the cryoprotection of cryonics patients. Quaife publishes the first results of this effort, a modification of Collins’ organ preservation solution for use as the carrier solution for Me2SO during cryoprotective perfusion. This marks the first attempt at creating a standardized, science-based human cryopreservation protocol.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Quaife|first=A.|date=1972|title=Recommended modification to Collins’ solution for use as the base perfusate for inducing SSH|url=|journal=Manrise Technical Review|volume=2|pages=3-9|via=}}</ref>
