[ExI] Nice Article on Brain Preservation

[Max More]

There is rather a lot of silly stuff being written on this topic. Aschwin
de Wolf and I are currently writing a detail analysis of plastic or resin
embedding (plastination is a specific method used by Gunther von Hagens).
Writers who think this approach is much cheaper have no idea what they are
talking about. They also don't seem to understand that it gives you fewer
revival options than does cryopreservation.

We aim to finish our article within a week or so.
