X-Message-Number: 2157 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (Peter Alexander Merel) Subject: Flatliners? Message-ID: <> Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1993 11:02:14 GMT I was talking with a doctor friend of mine about cryonics, and the revivability of frozen folks, and he speculated that some important element of consciousness might be lost when electrical activity in the brain ceases. So I was wondering if anyone has done an EEG of one of these cold animals that have been successfully revived, and whether that EEG went flat or not? I'm presuming that none of the people who fell into frozen lakes and survived after prolonged periods without much metabolism were brainscanned before their revival. -- Internet: | Accept Everything. | UUCP: {uunet,mcvax}!munnari!extro!pete | Reject Nothing. | Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2157
