The ultimate gift
Sorry there hasn't been much to read here lately. I've been very busy with work and home and so haven't had much time. That said, I will try to be more active with this blog.
Here's an article I read recently about some promising new treatments for multiple sclerosis. The most interesting part to me is the fact that they used autopsied human subjects to perform some of the research. They used six from MS patients, and two healthy subjects to study the protein differences between the two.
This is amazing. What better gift to leave the world than to donate your body to this kind of research? Especially if you have something unique like multiple sclerosis. I know it's not for everyone, but for me, there's no doubt in my mind that my body would be put to better use in research than in the ground.
I know - a little morbid and dark - but just think about all the people who could potentially benefit from these six former people who left their bodies to researchers.
