I laughed harder at this then I should have.
Yeah my girlfriend is weird so I wanted to let her have mine for wet specimen making, but they had to burn them.
But it depends on the surgeon so you can always ask
I can only picture the surgeon heaving a deep sigh, flipping his whiteboard around to reveal "asked" and "didn't ask" columns, and putting yet another checkmark on the only side with any checkmarks.
They say that, don't they?
Really I think the hassle is just worth less to the surgeon than to the patient so they're incentivized to lie about it.
With how many religions insist adherents keep their parts for later burial (or other reasons) a patient liaison has to have a waiver in a drawer somewhere you can sign (Formalin is toxic) so they can return your bits or they'd have to deal with church funded lawsuits or at minimum bad PR.
Hahahaha thank you for this
Can someone explain what happened in 1984?
It's a reference to a must-read classic.
