		<description>Einstein was a product of incest. I wonder did this have any influence on the development of his remarkable brain?</description>

Most definitely.  The guy deserves way more respect than that.&quot;[/quote]

Respect is showed in different ways by different people. Throwing his brain into a fire, or burying it in the soil isn&#039;t exactly respect to me. I feel that the greatest respect one could give a dead man is utilizing his body parts and let as little as possible go to waste. 

If he is dead he&#039;s not gonna care what happens to his body right? He is dead for Christ&#039;s sake. But if it was his wish to be cremated (brain included), then i guess the ethical thing to do is honor those wishes..?</description>

		<description>I was pondering that same thing: Did his brain start out that way or did he make it that way? I wonder if there would be any way to see if you can change your brain physically? Maybe somehow we could look at a person&#039;s brain when they&#039;re like 10 yrs old and then again after the person has passed on.

The fact that his brain was kept in a jar in some guy&#039;s office made me think of a funny email I got like a year ago. It told of funny &amp;/or stupid things that had actually been said inside the courtroom. One of them went:  Lawyer: &quot;Dr. (whatever his name was), are you sure that the subject was dead before you performed the autopsy?&quot;  Dr.: &quot;Yes, I was quite sure.&quot;  Lawyer: &quot;How could you be so sure?&quot; Dr.: &quot;Because I had his brain in a jar on my desk.&quot;  Lawyer: &quot;But isn&#039;t it still possible that he could have still been alive?&quot; Dr.: &quot;Yes, I believe he could have been alive and practicing law.&quot;</description>
