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.

Problem is, that you have to let people know while you are using it. There's been a few scandals in recent years, so they're very careful about whose bits they'll take for experiment. You need to register in advance.

I don't see myself dying anytime soon, but I've carried an organ donor card since I was a teenager, so that, should I die, Doctors will know I've already made the decision.
