Well, you can't do both organ donation and medical cadaver -- you have to choose one or the other. Actually, there are three things that are tempting -- medical education, organ donation, and there are people who are starting up a brain donation center. They're looking for abnormal brains, of course, but they also want normal brains for baseline study.

The thing is, you can only do ONE of those. The prep they do for organ donation isn't compatible with the prep for brain donation. And for medical cadaver, it's got to be the entire body.

So that's the interesting question: I assume that the majority of my friends would do one of those, but I'm curious to know which one.
