Friends,


Apologies if this has been asked many times before, but as a neurosuspension 
patient, I've got some serious concerns about recovering =

from being decapitated.  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.

Gordon Shippey
