Michael Jackson to be buried without his brain


... the LA coroner's office has still not completed its tests on Jackson's brain, and the singer's family have been advised that unless they wish to wait, he must be buried without it.

...Though his body was released the next day to relatives, his brain was not. The pop star's inert brain must "harden" for at least two weeks before doctors can conduct their neuropathology tests.

Doctors will examine Jackson's brain to help determine the cause of death, suspected of being linked to painkillers. Such examinations can also reveal unknown diseases, evidence of alcohol abuse or whether Jackson has suffered overdoses in the past.

A no brainer topic

I suppose they will have to bury it later.

Brain tissue reveals a lot to toxicologists.

But the creepiness of it is enough to give a person a bad taste. :skull: :eew:

Idon't think that the public needs to know everything and this would fall under TMI. I cring when I think of what all of this must be doing to his family.

i agree.

who was "micheal jackson"? was he his brain or his body? he was his brain. his body was what his brain used to live in.

the following will seem unrelated to the topic, but it is very related in my mind.

a person i knew said jokingly that they needed a "brain transplant" (in the event that it was possible).

i realized then that a body can not have a brain transplant.
it is a brain that has a "body" transplant.

so if they got their brain transplanted as they jokingly said, it would mean that the person who's brain was donated will actually be getting a new body, and the person who get's the transplant will die as soon as their original brain is discarded, and the donor brain will live on with a new body to control.

so the brain is the person i think (i am sure actually).

if he is buried without his brain and people go to worship his remains at whatever cemetry it is, then they will be worshipping not michael jackson.

if the medical examiners dispose of the brain after analysis and do not bury it with the body (which would require exhumation if his family bury him without his brain), then i can imagine people saying "oh well....at least what i am worshipping at this grave is most of michael jackson. thankfully it is only his brain that is missing".

hah.

on the other hand, even if the brain was buried in the box with him, it is still dead and no longer michael jackson..

whatever i can not think well at depths.

His brain would decompose anyways would you rather that it rot away and turns to ash? Besides it makes it much more amusing to speculate about MJ coming bak as a zombie to get his brain back, doesn't it? <.<

It would not suprise me that in the end, they ended up preserving the brain and put it on display somewhere....

Honestly, some people live most of their lives without using theirs.

Last I heard, they hadn't buried him yet, they are keeping him on ice... waiting for his brain, perhaps?
