What is the best way to isolate and preserve human feces?
I firmly believe that our soul is in our feces. I think each time we poop, we lose part of our life force, ATP, or soul. I would like to preserve my energy. Upon isolation of my feces, I think salting followed by a deep freeze would be the optimal preservation method. Do you think the ion concentration from the salt and extreme temperature change will damage the DNA? I know from my graduate work, that if you freeze cells too quickly the water in the cells can burst the outer membranes. Do you think salting then a slow freeze would be best? What would be the best salt to use? I was thinking a mixture of Ca(OH)2, NaCl and KI salts. Thank you.

You should probably be saving your urine, sweat, spit, nasal mucous, lost hair, dander, fingernail clippings, and sloughed skin cells as well. All of these probably contain more ATP and DNA than feces, which is mostly from foreign biological samples. Your DNA in feces is just sloughed-off cells from your digestive system, you lose a lot more in other ways.
Perhaps you should look into dehydration of your feces? I believe that dehydrating your poops will have a higher chance of lasting through the ages, rather than a freezing process – after all, once humankind has died off, there will be no more electricity to keep the turds on ice – they’ll thaw out, and your soul will be gone forever.
