"Why not? That girl hasn't ever done anything useful. And I'm sick and tired of being tossed into SUVs like a bag of manure."

People who have had their brains cryogenically frozen could be 'woken up' within three years, a pioneering Italian surgeon has claimed.
Professor Sergio Canavero, Director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, is aiming to carry out the first human head transplant within 10 months and then wants to begin trials on brain transplants.
If the procedures are successful, he believes that frozen brains could be thawed and inserted into a donor body.
Hundreds of people who are dying or paralysed have had their bodies or brains cryogenically preserved in the hope that medical science will be able to bring them back to life and cure their conditions.
Although many experts are sceptical that huge organs like the brain can be thawed without damage, Prof Canavero said he believes the first frozen head could soon be resurrected.
Speaking to the German magazine Ooom, he said he planned to awaken patients frozen by the Alcor Life Extension Foundation which is based in Arizona.
"We will try to bring the first of the company's patients back to life, not in 100 years. As soon as the first human head transplant has taken place, i.e. no later than 2018, we will be able to attempt to reawaken the first frozen head," said Prof Canavero.
"We are currently planning the world's first brain transplant, and I consider it realistic that we will be ready in three years at the latest.
"A brain transplant has many advantages. First, there is barely any immune reaction,which means the problem of rejection does not exist.
"The brain is, in a manner of speaking, a neutral organ. If you transplant a head with vessels, nerves, tendons and muscles, rejection can pose a massive problem. This is not the case with the brain."

Better include the stomach too
Why?.................
People tend to think that the “person” is located in the brain, and the body is like a car or motorcycle that carries the “person” around.
I think that a lot of what we think of as “thinking” or “consciousness” occurs in places in the body other than the brain. IOW, when these brains “awake” in someone else’s body, they are going to experience weird, possibly horrible, stuff. In some cases, it may be like a Hell on earth.
This will play out like the Tower of Babel. God doesn’t like competition.
We are all given a time to die. When it’s time, it’s over.
The D party has quite a few donor bodies waiting for brains. I’d put Maxine Waters at the top of the list, though Sheila Jackson Lee is in serious need also. Many Rs are in need but a little lower on the list.
Yeah, agreed. Recently I found used copies of that and “Time Enough for Love “ for a buck. Hadn’t read them since the 70s.
Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck’s?
No.
Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Then you won’t be angry?
I will NOT be angry.
Abby someone.
Abby someone. Abby who?
Abby... Normal.
Abby Normal?
I’m almost sure that was the name.
which means the problem of rejection does not exist.

Well don’t put a Conservative’s brain into a Liberal’s body.
Something WILL reject!
::”We already have a large group of Americans with frozen brains. They’re called Democrats::””
Can you imagine some poor soul being given Maxine Waters’ brain? Nah - not possible - she doesn’t have one!
Several plants and animals can naturally survive hard freezing with no damage

I knew this dog, named “Deeper”.
He had been locked in the walk in freezer over night.
The next morning, when found, they laid his stiff/frozen? body in the sun (black fur). By and by he woke up. He was a little slower after that.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the title...Classic!
You might find this company and its research interesting: http://www.alcor.org/
Freeing up some freezer space for more suckers.
Sears is having a sale.....................
Getting a head start on Memorial Day sales.
Even if they brought Walt Disney back I doubt he’d want to stay
