It appears that there are a shortage of healthy donated brains in the world Smiley: dubious

I could not read this without thinking of Monty Pythons "Bring out your dead!"

I just finished reading a book about the history of cadavers and the historical shortage of donated bodies for training of doctors/surgeons...it's nothing new! At least nowadays there's slightly less of a chance of criminals making a living by digging us up and dragging our corpses to the offices of doctors for a bit of extra cash, haha.

What actually made me wonder about this would be the shame of rejection Smiley: dubious

What if you left your brain to science and you died. On turning in your remains your relatives are told "Sorry but her brain was not quite healthy enough. Too much Pinot Grigio and chocolate in her lifetime ruined it. Rejected!" Smiley: nod
