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's not gonna care what happens to his body right? He is dead for Christ'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..?

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's brain when they'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's office made me think of a funny email I got like a year ago. It told of funny &/or stupid things that had actually been said inside the courtroom. One of them went: Lawyer: "Dr. (whatever his name was), are you sure that the subject was dead before you performed the autopsy?" Dr.: "Yes, I was quite sure." Lawyer: "How could you be so sure?" Dr.: "Because I had his brain in a jar on my desk." Lawyer: "But isn't it still possible that he could have still been alive?" Dr.: "Yes, I believe he could have been alive and practicing law."

What Einstein said about mystery was very valuable. Knowledge is meaningless without dignity and respect.

They’ve butchered and sliced it enough. Cremate it or inter it.
