If you've ever wondered whether organs and tissues of people with MS would be accepted for donation in Australia, given that the cause of this condition is unknown, an aquaintance rang and asked that question.


"At the time of a possible transfer of organs or tissues an assessment is made which looks at the medical history of the donor and a decision is made then. Some tissues, such as the cornea, could be rejected on the basis of MS. So registering as a donor is still a good idea if that is what you wish to do."


Of course, the Brainbank usually want MS brains.

Just so you know.........
