If you can get DNA from a Neanderthal who died 38000 years ago with no
plastination or freezing or preservation of any kind I imagine you can get
it from a plastic embedded brain, but I wouldn't care very much even if you
couldn't. The cost is dropping so fast that within the next 5 years for
less than $1000 (possibly less than $100) you will be able to receive your
complete genome on a CD, no need for a DVD or Blu-Ray.
