Hi jackie:
You got it. <BG> The idea is that someday they will be able to
transplant the head onto a body where the person has died of some kind
of brain damage, but the body is in perfect health. The bodies are
frozen with the idea that whatever killed the person will sometime in
the future be able to be fixed or cured and then they will fix it and
bring the person back to life. What is weird about this whole thing is
that some lady's family swore up and down that she was actually alive
when she was taken in there to have her head frozen. There was a big
investigation into it, and I think that they did find out that she was
alive at the time, but they couldn't find her head so they couldn't
prove anything.
I guess this is another case of psychic ability, on your part. :) The
father is going to have to pay the child support, but it really brings
medicine, law, and ethics to the forefront, IMO.
