Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Good article. And, I would want them to take more than lungs as I think other parts of the body could well shed clues. I am planning on checking with UTSW and, if they do such things, then it sould be no problem. First, the six hours wouldn't be difficult. Second, in Texas there is a form that simplifies things a bit. Not only can you spell out your own wishes, but you have a document to appoint an agent for disposition of your remains. On that you can either leave it open or put instructions. But, this does allow immediate action, rather than requiring any special proof of who can decide or will or any other document. Also, you can avoid them having to find the witnesses to your original signature by getting the witness signatures notarized as well, which " perfects " their signature. > > > > > > Hi Barb, > > > I was happy to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 This is intersting info, cuz I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis 2 years ago and now have chronic gastritis, bleeding ulcers, and just received the UIP diagnosis this past week. Maybe they are hitting on something?? CaroBruce Moreland wrote: Good article. And, I would want them to take more than lungs as I think other parts of the body could well shed clues.
