This is a note of appreciation for the comments on chemopreservation, 
freeze drying, and such (Skrecky, den Otter, and also Stodolsky). I want to 
be fully informed of possible difficulties and their possible remedies 
before proceeding. One possibility that has been noted is plastination, 
which in some ways sounds great but could have a devastating downside. I am 
referring to "defatting" that must be done (according to what I read some 
months ago), which might destroy structure encoding memories and such. Does 
anyone know about this? The idea of a survey to gauge public interest 
before committing oneself to an actual operation sounds good, though it is 
my feeling that something should be done even if little interest is shown; 
you might still save a few.
