I'm really glad you posted that link today, because I got straight on and did it. Would never have sought it out myself. Not sure my crappy body will be good for anything, but maybe an organ or two will still be useful, who knows. Let's hope it is a mighty long time before anyone needs to find out, anyway!

Is your skin affected by MS? as that is much needed.
If anyone knows how you go about donating your body to science research once your dead I'll sign up for that too. I have heard your supposed to be healthy, but I would assume they'd take people with genetic conditions too see if they can get a better insight

Rofl, that's the spirit Ditto! ;D My mum always wanted to donate her corpse to science (hey, cuts down on the expense, too! ;D) but she heard they were getting a bit picky, and actually turned people down willy nilly

Here's the link for the David Hookes Foundation. I think it's wonderful that his wife set this up in honour of him. He was a big believer in organ donation. They are trying hard to change the legislation regarding next of kin having the final say. I know without a doubt that none of my family would object to my wishes. David Hookes Foundation

Not sure if anyone is intrested or ripe enough for this *Ducks* but you could always pass the link on to friends. egg donorYou can donate your eggs (Not layed by chickens either) to this association and a friend can be bumped up the list to recieve another donors. So though she wouldnt get yours it does help

I am still ripe, even if on the turn, lol! But even if they would accept an old codger's eggs, I wouldn't help anyone bring any more people into this dangerous and overpopulated world.

Will do. I am very proud of her. She has lost a lot of weight over the last few years and doing this proves how fit she has become.
