Another huge signing for the new Flames star. Shows his character, for sure.

Theo Fleury has also pledged his brain but the science community declined that offer.

Does organ donor on my license also mean brain to science? (I mean, it's not like they can do a brain transplant)

In the interest of fairness, I'm donating my brain to mythology.

(Silliness aside: Good on Huberdeau!)

These are very important studies ,there is so much more to know about the effects of physical trauma of the brain (sports related specifically)

Well done John H

I have been blinded by science, so not a huge fan.

I think the question is, has he signed the back of his drivers licence?

"Science" doesn't care about your brain though. It isn't as though having a bunch of brains in jars is going to be beneficial to science.

I took it to mean that nobody cares or has time to study the brain of every single person who dies.

Pretty much that just everyone donating a brain to the aforementioned science and how science would be furthered with a bunch of extra brains lying around. With no differentiation of what they would be using the brains for it just seems like a ridiculous notion in the name of the advancement of "science."

If someone wants to donate their body for the advancement of knowledge talk to your local university and look towards donating your body after death to the medical school.

Signs long extension with flames before playing a single game in Calgary.
Feels need to donate brain to science.
Coincidence?

Okay.


Because there is so much more to know about how our environments effect us. And if more people did, we would help the next generations determine on what causes some people to develop in different ways, based off of economic settings.
