Guest guest Posted November 12, 1998 Report Share Posted November 12, 1998 Robin: That is a very good question (whether or not cremation inactivates prions). I reread the article: < > It is frightening to me that " nearly inactive " is used here. I don't know how autoclaving differs from cremation (in other words, at what temperature is a body cremated and how long it takes versus what is used during the autoclave process besides heat). It seems to me that even chemical and heat methods may not completely deactivate prions. Beverly G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
