Not quite so as brain plastination is not-cryonics.

Interesting. I'd never heard of this until you mentioned it and I googled a short description. I'll have to learn what this entails before I can comment more.

I have been working on a little essay about plastination, http://www.gwern.net/plastination - it's not very thorough, but Darwin says he'll send me what he's written before on the topic of plastination/chemical fixation, which ought to help a lot.

Thanks! Upvoted for the useful essay link. I have started reading the essay to get more familiar with this.
