X-Message-Number: 32298 Subject: Futility of cryopreservation or chemical fixation? Date: Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:37:34 -0500 From: ----------MB_8CC5E3BD047609B_750_7702_web-mmc-m08.sysops.aol.com I read here of purported quantum level of activity within brain synapses, and fail to see how either cryopreservation or chemical fixation can preserve that. I even fail to see how the electrical activity in the brain could be preserved by either freezing it after it has ceased such activity, or taking a snapshot of it similarly afterwards. I may be mistaken but in the back of my head is something about such ongoing electrical activity being what preserves "memories" and such, as long as they exist. So I wonder what is the point. Would professing a belief in "God" be indicated here?
