I'd imagine not. And I'm not sure it would ever be a possibility, unless you were to attempt to determine how and when the immune system failed, but that would all be [pause] based on guesswork, wouldn't it? And if you would be able to lend me those texts, I would appreciate it quite a lot! Thank-you very much for your consideration, Herbert!

Do people really think offering compensation to research subjects is unethical? That is very odd. I think that offering compensation would be the polite thing to do. At the very least, you'd want to send them a gift or a card.

I consider it part of my responsibility to help younger students who show the kind of promise you do, so you're welcome. But to answer your question, it could be a possibility if there were a way to reinvigorate dead flesh for examination, or possibly some kind of internal pensieve that could be used on a dead brain, just for scanning bodily functions.

And yes, anything more than the most minor of compensation is taboo. I suppose because they don't want researchers taking advantage of poor people, but if we were allowed proper payments, it would be like giving them a job where they'd be useful to society, so I hardly understand the logic there.
