So you want to donate your body to science</p>

Interesting article about cadaver use.</p>

If anyone is interested in this, Mary Roach wrote a great book that covers a lot of this stuff called, "Stiffs"</p>


 </p>


Knowing that your donated body could go to car companies to help calibrate crash test dummy data was pretty revealing.</p>

When I was at the doctors office they were handing me the large stack of items that you just normally sign and be done with, and something unrelated just happen to catch my in one before I checked the "Yes, I consent" box, and that led to the conversation of what I was consenting to for that and they basically said that it was a consent for anything left over from tests, biopsy's, ect... be given to NU Medical Faculty foundation for their students to use or basically whatever they wanted. I don't know why but it creeped me out a bit and I ended up not consenting. It's one thing to be dead, but for some reason having my extra blood or whatever floating around out there seemed weird. It also made me wonder why then need to take so much for ever test, haha. I know I know different labs and whatnot.</p>

Anyone see the guy in NY that was nailed in the head by his flying Miniature Helo?</p>


 </p>


Nothing like being killed by your flying lawn mower.  Yikes!</p>

Another thing that really bothers me about this is the media portraying it as a guy being killed by a toy helicopter... this was not a toy. IT was a gas powered fully functional probably 6+ (don't know how many total they can have) channel helicopter. You could get hit in the head with a toy helicopter and be fine. This was not that copter, and it wasn't some kid it was a "pro" flying this thing.</p>

My buddy flies one over here in lake county. Def not a toy.

Most definitely not a toy.   Had one a couple of years ago (flavor of the year for me any my bros), and RC copters of that size take some serious skill to control....and no way in hell I would even try some of the tricks that I have seen these guys do for this very reason, and I was just not that skilled at it.</p>


 </p>


Speaking of RC "toys", I had a subordinate who was part of the US RC Plane Racing and Stunt Completion team.   He came in one morning with tons of band aides and bandages on one of his arms.  I asked him what happened and he mentioned that he was tweaking his plane and the rotors caught his arm.   He ended up with over 70 stitches on his arm.   The rotors on those "toy" copters are just was dangerous.</p>

Using pig bladder to make cellular matrix, Dr. regrows amputated finger.</p>

WTF... say huh now... they grew bone and a nail back in? The pictures were blurred so I don't exactly get it but that's messed up.</p>

Yes.   They extract cellular matrix from pig bladders and infuse or apply that to the wound and the healing process regrows the digit.   He will have a fully restored finger in 6 months time.</p>


 </p>


I've read other articles about it.    I amputated the tip of my right thumb while doing a project at home with a table saw 8 years ago so I'm very interested in this stuff and hope it will be considered standard care and easily available one day.   I would probably need to have the surgical stump on my thumb removed but then could theoretically grow a new thumb tip from scratch so too speak.</p>

This is crazy to me... I don't understand how it knows what to grow... how does it know that bone and tissue and skin and nail all need to form and where to form... I get that it does this in the womb but this is so weird and different to me, and it's a pig not human stuff... I am just too dumb to understand it.</p>
