>Determine how well the brain has been fixed. When formalin is pumped into
the cadaver,
it does not necessarily penetrate all of the extremities. The brain is often
insufficiently fixed. If this is the case, it will be soft and pink. To fix
an unfixed brain keep it in a container of formalin after it has been
removed from the skull.<

Reading this made me Think. Undertakers do hundreds of perfusions if not
thousands while the most experienced cryonics persons probably did less than
a hundred at the best. Maybe the perfusion should be sourced out to
undertakers.
