I suggested sometime back that we take the brains and keep them in those 2 gallon pickle jars filled with formaldihide (sp?) embalming fluid until such time as someone actually has a study team to use them.
I suggest that we designate someone with a cool cellar, perhaps an old wine cellar-type arrangement, most likely in the Northern regions, or Canada?
We should properly document the enterprise, so when the police investigate, as will surely happen for no particular reason, they will not freak-out.
I have offered to be the custodian of DNA samples to the held for CH research, but am not equiped to store jars of brains. Perhaps I can find one of the locals in Belize to store them on one of the Mayan caves until needed. We will, of course, have to work out the import/export licenses, but if there is an interest, I will explore this.
As for those who are willing their brains, we should register those so that the CH community will not loose those research-assets due to confusion at the time collection procedures are required.
If anyone is offended by this, please contact me directly. Thanks.
