question on preserving your brain after death

Weird random thought while eating my oatmeal today....

People have preserved brains ( JFK and Einstien for example). These people were "braindead" at the time of death. The brain needs oxygen to live, and im assuming keep our consiousness in our bodies. So how can you preserve a human brain, and hope to "reanimate it" ?

Then i asked myself, if keeping it oxyginated some how. But this would then mean, that the brain may still be concsious at some level. I guess its sort of like people who are on lief support. You could probably keep them "alive" for a long time if you really tried.

Basicly i asked myself... if the brain was oxyginated, or atleast kept somewhat "alive" is it no different, then keeping someone alive on life support? Or even, is it even concsious??

The brain needs far more than oxygen to survive.

If something did survive and the brain was reanimated, then that would certainly cause the world to explode, now wouldn't it?

Isn't the brain comparable to a 'service-hatch'? At least that's how I see it.

As far as I know, it is the silver cord that keeps our bodies alive.
