I mean, obviously with Stiff, we know what happens to cadavers and donating your body to science, but you also have a great chapter about tissue donation, which my husband has some donor tissue in his knee going strong for like four years.
And for more on your garbage knees, you can see our genicular traumatology episode with Dr. Kevin Stone, who fixes those knees.
He ended up completing his black belt in jujitsu.
He never thought he'd get to go back.
And I'm like, dude, you owe that family a letter for sure.
You've got to send them a letter, especially now that you did this thing you wanted to do.
And ethically, your kin have to sign off on it.
Do you think you're going to be donating your body to science?
What do you think?
Mary notes in Replaceable You that regardless of a person's wishes or the dot on their driver's license, tissue can't be recovered until the next of kin has answered the eligibility questions.
Is it hard to get accepted though?
This is true.
Yes.
But I wonder if your family stands by a computer waiting to see if you got into it, into core like they do with Harvard.
Oh, my God.
She got in.
She got into 75 more people.
75 more people.
We're going to get so many letters.
Not your Achilles heel.
