Cryoprotecant for paper & freezing "souls".

Trygve, I'll be back to respond to this last post later. No time right now. For now, though, I'm just notating two points I want to pick up on later.

1. There ought to be a way to cryoprotect paper. With proper treatment, paper CAN successfully be frozen and thawed. I'm going to run an experiment this weekend using a notebook I filled in 1991 and my freezer. And, by the way, I'm quite serious. You KNOW that "molecular motion" slows down under lower temperatures-- that's what "cold" means! You CAN slow the rate of decay of BOOKS by lowering the temperature. Old documents OUGHT to be house in low temperature warehouses!!!

2. If a client came to you and wanted to arrange to have their "soul" frozen, would you try to accomodate them? Since many people believe that the soul gets trapped in a cryonically suspended person, perhaps it's possible, in their minds, to create a "soul trapping LN2 lined room" so that when "legal death" is declared, you can instantly capture that "essense". I'm serious about this too- since you said that you would DO whatever the client WANTS. If the client WANTED this, and was willing to pay you, would you DO it?
