- In Dostoievski's "Brothers Karamazov", Ivan, the elder brother, tells a parable in which Jesus returns to earth around 1500, at the time of the Inquisition. The Grand Inquisitor has him arrested, making him understand that his return would compromise the normal course of history. Men do not aspire to freedom, the Grand Inquisitor tells him : they are looking for someone who can give them bread, and once found, everyone would be willing to give up their freedom to submit to him. This means that if in his time Jesus had succumbed to the temptations of the Devil, he could have won power over all humanity. Men would have thrown themselves at his feet and would have done whatever he had asked of them. But Jesus refused this kind of power, declaring to Satan: "Man does not live on bread alone."

- Joseph Paul Jernigan was 39 years old when he was executed in Huntsville, Texas, in 1993. Ten minutes after the lethal injection, he was handed over to scientists, transported to Denver, frozen in blue gelatin and, over a period of four months, photographed as he was planed off, millimeter by millimeter. He would be reborn on the Internet as the "visible man" -- the first completely digitized human being. This worldwide, digitally distributed Visible Human Project is the result of a unique interaction between science and justice.
