After filling in a long laborious form for the missus re donating her hip bone for further use. Have just been informed it was a waste of time, as lived in England between 1986 and 1991 is not acceptable as this area of time Mad Cow Disease was in existence in the UK. Anyone else living in Australia and in similar circumstances can now rest easy there is no one going to be after your bodily parts, at least the ones that don't matter. Cheers JS

Re: Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones
When my son was a Medical Student at Uni, he bought a Real Human skeleton. and brought it home, had it in his bedroom, then he would go back to Uni and leave it with me.
It was like having a dead body in the house. I was living alone at the time, and the imagination worked overtime.
I was bleddy terrified. slept with the lights on.
I came upstairs one time, his bedroom door was open and the landing light was shining on a white skull smiling at me in the darkness, I nearly wet my knickers.
He would come home at weekends, and expect me to wash his white coat that he had been using in the dissecting room, it stank of dead bodies and formaldehyde. I would leave it outside in a bucket of bleach to soak for a few days.
