I'm not worried that there are important parts of my personality housed below the neckline. After all, Christopher = Reeve is still Christopher Reeve. Rather, I'm wondering whether there are fundamental difficulties that might prevent even an advanced = technology from splicing a revived and repaired neurosuspension patient onto some semblance of his old body. This question and these concerns = are prompted by Gerald Edelman's book "Bright Air, Brilliant Fire", which suggests that even clones can have major structural differences = due to random fluctuations during their development. Any input is most welcome.
