Leavin' my brain behind.

Minilink dump since I know won't have time to look at this, this week:
Update plans for death. Bequeath my brain.
As ranted against by Fluff Cthulhu.
I suppose I should set up a minimal will, and thingy with relvant passwords on.
Oh, and I see that I didn't write down my response to people who've said they'd feel weird leaving bits of their bodies for surgeons to train on / experiment with.
I won't be there. So anything that can be done with the bits that are left is just good recycling. If it can directly help save/improve someone's life, great. If it can help a research project cure something, or even just rule out a false hope of a cure, fantastic. If it just gets cremated, and buried, that's fine too, I won't be there. But it does seem like a bit of a waste.
I'm not trying to be morbid here. Doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Aw, being turned into a woodland forest. That's nice. I don't know why, but I'd thought it would just be like part of a standard commercial fertiliser. I guess people wouldn't like that :)
