My Dead Body…

[Lordbenny]

Summoning up the courage to watch it….I think Lady Benny will possibly have more of a stomach for it than me, she loves this kind of thing.

Apparently it’s an amazing and emotional watch….will get back to you!

There was a similar weekly series on TV around the early 60’s, think it was called “Your life in their hands”.

Watched it last night. Interesting watch.

The “Crack” has they open her skull will make ya teeth itch.

Very brave young lady.

she's dead is that brave?

Tragic none the less.

I wonder how her family feel.

Personally I'm not sure if it's ok.

She faced cancer as a single mum of 2 kids, at 26 yrs old, loosing an eye, and then her life at 30 yrs old.

Then donated her body so that hundreds, if not thousands of medical students will benefit.

She’s braver than most.

Indeed.

Many people do it though without the need for publicity.

I have twin aunts. One died with parkinsons. The other is 94 in Dec but her main priority on death is that her brain is donated for Parkinsons research. That means getting her brain out within 24hrs of death. Her being in SW Scotland and the procedure happening in Glasgow it's no easy task.
She sure aint doing it for publicity.

I havent watched the programme but did find the trailers a bit distasteful. Maybe it was the TV productions co's fault. It came across as if it was being done for Facebook likes.

Or maybe because I deal with a lot of dead things it wasn't at all novel to me.

I thought that people had to opt out of being a donor these days, rather than opting in?

That's for organ donation. Donating your body to medical science is a different matter.

My brother donated his body to research some years ago, apart from it benifits students etc, it cost nothing, so no funeral expenses, not that it was the reason he did it, just wanted for some to benifit from his death.
