While not wishing to promote the freezing of heads more than sense dictates, it did occur to me that a severed head isn’t just missing the rest of its natural form, but also its microbiome – increasingly recognised as an additional dimension of health and personality. To partially compensate for this, perhaps a frozen head should be accompanied by a personal stool sample to allow for a more complete future recombination (4 March, p 35).
