My Mother always wanted to donate her body o science and had stipulated this in her will. Unfortunately she suffered a stroke at acc 84 and never recovered. My sister and 1 discussed momus wishes with her doctor and were told gently that mom was a too old Quot for any of her body parts to do anyone any Good. Under stress it is difficult to think clearly and one is not inclined to second guess the physician. So we accepted the doctors statement without question. Later we Learned that what he had told us was incorrect. Are you aware of any guidelines used by doctors and medical schools regarding the donation of ones body for research we Are terribly sad that our dear mothers last wish was not fulfilled because the doctor misinformed us. Please set the record straight. Bonita Springs Fla. Dear Bonita i asked or. Daniel Goodnough at Harvard medical school lie said that whether or not a body is suitable Tor medical research depends in what Type of research is being done. In major medical schools almost All bodies Are useful for research or teaching purposes a even bodies that Are very old or riddled with cancer. I have stated in my will that when i die i am donating my body to Harvard medical school the problem is that some of the doctors there want it now.

Our Hope is that others who receive such lavish gifts will consider this alternative. A , Fla. Dear not needy it is impolite and presumptuous to Tell people to whom to give a gift but there is no reason you can to take your gift baskets to your local salvation army or homeless shelter. Dear Abby As the holidays approach and the recent fires in California bring to mind the trauma of those families who lost All their possessions we should consider whether we know anyone who May have lost treasured photographs in a fire flood or Hurricane.
