Thanks, Kennita. As it happens, Grant has worked with Alcor and been of benefit over the years, with his preservative techniques making it possible to do "practice" sessions on cadavers much as is done in medical schools. However, for a number of reasons I'm not sure he would be particularly useful to the purpose I had in mind. Basically I'm interested in the best you can do in a way that would be simple, cheap, easy to apply, and widely available, something morticians everywhere could apply from your instructions available by fax or Website. It should not depend on the lone guru who, though having great knowledge and skill, could be hard to reach quickly in an emergency plus have a proprietary interest that would impede the widespread dissemination of his techniques.
