Hello -
I received a call today from the chaplin in a separate hospital. They have a woman whose 22 week fetus has some type of skeletal dysplasia - the info he has says no arms or legs, so she is getting induced - today of course. "Someone" suggested that the family could donate the body to research and they really want to do that - of course now nobody knows where to send it. Does anyone have any suggestions - the only one I could think of was the Maryland Brain and Tissue bank but I'm not sure if its appropriate. Since they dont' have a diagnosis they are planning xrays, pictures and skin bx for chromosomes after delivery. Any help is appreciated!
Robin
