Subject: Re: fixation + freezing?

Instead of a *chemical* fixative, how practical would a *mechanical*
fixative be?  Would it be possible to fill the brain with plastic that
hardens and holds everything in place, like insects in amber?

One of the people at the Life Extension Society meeting in Philadelphia
two months ago had a thin slice of human brain in plastic.  I got to
wondering whether the person whose brain that was could possibly be
recovered with a sufficiently advanced technology, if all of the slices
could still be located then.
