Makes my blood boil!<br /><br />Hi Raj<br />If its in our body for so long then I think it's reasonable to suggest that a physical part of us will remain if we give it away...along with a few other bits perhaps.<br /><br />Vera...I only did it for the custard creams!Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687269124795443524.post-14012868875590935512010-04-07T14:48:11.081+01:002010-04-07T14:48:11.081+01:00Custard creams and bourbons!

In fact, few years back, while giving blood, it occurred to me - will a part of "me" remain - after am gone!
