X-Message-Number: 23450 Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 07:37:06 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #23437 - #23440 Good statement by Ben Best in his message #23440. I will add that as we come to understand how brains work, we'll also get a much better idea of the kinds of brain damage which raise questions about identity and survival (as distinct from reparability, which in a sense could be done even without a brain!) and what can be done to restore or revive them. Yes, one more reason to pay attention to such work. As for ischemia, it already gets considerable attention in neuroscience literature, with the earliest victory likely to be ways to fix or restore broken spinal cords. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23450
