Subject: So you want to plastinate, huh?  Here's Dr. Gunther's full
From: "Bobby June  ::..::..::  9v" <>

Plastination brochure online below...

I had contacted Prof. von Hagens' Institut f r Plastination a while ago.  I
wanted to have the doctor take possession of my trunk after Alcor had
completed the cephalic isolation instead of cremation.

I told them that they could do whatever they wanted with my body
artistically minus the head, since that would be in another location.  They
sent back a letter located at the bottom of the supplied link below with my
donor card if I wanted to follow their particulars.  Unfortunately, it
doesn't look good for my fun souvenir-ish idea.

And I didn't even mention to them that I also wanted them to remove my
skeleton, prepare, tag and bag it for return to my salt mine storage AND to
also let me have full rights to purchase my plastinated trunk "back" from
the institute when I am revived (for a simple keep sake, and the bones as as
a keep sake as well).  I'm sure their strict policies would prohibit those
requests.  "Loosen up doc."

Please investigate this though.  It might have merit it some respect or
another toward our mission.  I have an old site I put up for a friend with
each page of the Institute's brochure, the paperwork they give and my letter
of refusal.  Hope this can help.

It's about 5 megs, so be patient.  Good shot of plastinated brain.  To
cellular level with laquer thinner.  Good, bad???
