Re: Whole Body Preservation Technique Without Using Formalin
I'm not sure if people want to see their loved ones looking like bronze statues in their caskets. But if this directed solely at the educational community, I guess it doesn't really matter.  |

Re: Whole Body Preservation Technique Without Using Formalin
The family of Lenin's embalmers states that the corpse is real and requires daily work to moisturise the features and inject preservatives under the clothes. Lenin's sarcophagus is kept at a temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) and kept at a humidity of 80 - 90 percent. The chemical used was referred to by the caretakers as "balsam", which was glycerine and potassium acetate. Every eighteen months the corpse is removed and undergoes a special chemical bath. The chemicals were unknown until after the fall of the Soviet Union, kept secret by authorities. The bath consists of placing the corpse in a glass bath with potassium acetate, alcohol, glycerol, distilled water, and as a disinfectant, quinine. This was the process used for all subsequent treatments of Lenin's body and continues to be used even now. One of the main problems the embalmers faced was the appearance of dark spots on the skin, especially on the face and hands. They managed to solve the problem: in between baths the spots were eliminated by the use of a variety of different reagents. For example, if a patch of wrinkling or discoloration occurred it was treated with an acetic acid diluted with water. Hydrogen peroxide could be used to restore the tissues' original colouring. Damp spots were removed by means of disinfectants like quinine or carbolic acid. |

Re: Whole Body Preservation Technique Without Using Formalin
It seems like a method worth investing in, at least for medical study purposes. Less danger and less damage to the tissues. I wonder how a fresher cadaver would look after going through the process.

Re: Whole Body Preservation Technique Without Using Formalin
I'll pass.. I want my remains to be left in the woods for animals and bugs to deal with.. But I'll settle for a burial ..naked no coffin.. (Who knows what kinda fun stuff someone may like to do to a corpse in the middle of the woods?   )As for the community this is used to help teach? That's a pretty big step in the right direction. And of course.. sicko me has to ponder  What happens if we put a living person in this thing? |
pretty ironic that a muslim is behind this, i thought they were in the business of capping every fucker, not preserving them once they are capped !
