> Hello Oberon,
> It's a actually not an odd idea, but a very old one. I believe it was suggested by Drexler in his treatment.
> But what is your source for formaldehyde fixation being highly destructive of the molecular basis of memory? I assume it's not the RNA article below - there is no evidence intact RNA would be necessary to infer long-term memories.
> I would also find it arguable that straight freezing completely obliterated the physical basis of memory.
