Re: brain donation/question

[Guest guest]

We were told there was a four hour window after death during which the brain

could be harvested. Mayo sent a special preserving fluid the day before Ken

died, and the Mortuary agreed to let the people in during the night.

What does the procedure involve with relationship to time after

death. How long before everything is completed and the funeral can

occur?

My father passed on Tuesday (4/16). That night, his

body was flown to Little Rock b/c the pathologist

there had more experience removing the brain and

spinal cord. His body was sent back on Thursday and

the funeral was Friday. I'm not sure how soon after

death the tissue needs to be removed, but I know the

window of opportunity is very small.

Hope that helps some.
