Hi!
Since snails go really slowly, and it says "SLOWING my thoughts...", we can interpret that he/she isn't thinking of things very fast. Our brains can think things so fast, normally we don't even have to think about it. (Wow, how many times can I say 'think' in one sentence?) But he/she is having that process slowed, probably because he/she can only focus on how cold he/she is.
Hope this helps!
A February, 2002 report from the National Academies of Science concluded that while reproductive cloning is unsafe and should be banned, therapeutic cloning has sufficient scientific potential that it should be allowed to continue.
