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. -- Keith Lynch, http://www.access.digex.net/~kfl/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4759
