"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.........

I should have mentioned when I posted this that Australians with MS can no longer donate blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank .
