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.

Yes, I read that and thought a brain donation might be a good idea. Not immediately, perhaps, but once I've finished using it.

Come to think of it, that's an excellent way of making sure that you're brain dead when they come to bury/cremate/whatever you. :)

Well, once the organ donor system has had done, I've specified in my will that I want to be turned into fertiliser, not cremated, thank you. I like the idea of growing into a plant.
