ECMO as last will

Yesterday Dr. Sparks wrote “nobody on staff who realizes that they could cannulate quickly”. Maybe I bypassed too many steps with my usual "connectome", but I thought of some ECMO into his vehicle, even for the patients who would desire to be moved from a possible hospital intensive care unit to his patient room. It could require specialized/licensed personnel, although I think it’s easier for a clinician to learn a completely different cannulation technique rather than to learnig to fly small planes.
About 1 year ago, I started a topic on New Cryonet (a yahoo group where e.g. jordansparks0 is a member) about using a normal ECMO but taking advantage of the legal, infrastructural and technological level of diffusion available to organ donors.
Dr. Darwin reply was essentially that I seemed to be “under the mistaken impression that medicine is a laissez faire enterprise”. Being rude is his normal behavior, but I’m proud of that 11 page response (I link this way because it seems you can’t find it in that group although I have it in my yahoo mail). Anyway, in our last conversation he shown me overwhelming knowledge in both clinical and research field.
Today I’ve realized that months later he resumed the issue of how the "progresses" of transplanting techniques are so overwhelming compared to cryonics. In particular, near the end he states: “My goal was to meet the specified legal requirements while preserving the brain in the best possible condition”.
Realism is useful of course, but optimism is useful to fight the frustrating powerlessness of being one in a billion who gets the essence of preservation.
