I am going to donate my brain to Parkinsons research after I die. I was just wondering if other people had thought of it. If you want to do it, you will need to fill out some paperwork beforehand. It will have to be preserved unless it is taken at the hospital that is going to use it for research.
And if you haven't thought of it before this can be your chance to talk to your family about it, research it and prepare if it is something you want to do.

Have never given it a thought, though I will donate my body to science, they can take whatever they need. I will not be using it anymore, lol!

True Story ~ when my stepdad passed away. They asked me about donating his body and I said for what!? Bless his heart he was 77 years old, was “rode hard and put away wet” They said oh,they could use lots. They could even use his skeleton.

When my X-ray came back, among the fog and dust was something reminiscent of a burnt potato. They told me to go home, have a cup of tea and a lie down. 😕
