Memento
Minor correction to yesterday's entry. It was a woman with a spinal cord injury. As Paul noted, treating someone with a spinal cord is not exactly newsworthy.
I've often wondered what I'd want done with my body after I'm gone. Right now, my living will states that I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in the Seine. But then I stumbled across LifeGem, a place that takes some of the carbon from your remains and turns it into a small diamond. A bit sentimental, but still, an interesting concept. There's something poetic about having a little piece of yourself turned into a jewel. Chances are that little gemstone would be around long after everyone who knew you had perished. However, I can't decide on a radiant cut or a princess cut.
This idea came from a list of science-related things to try before (or after) you die. Can someone hook me up with the chance to pet a tiger? I totally want to try that.

I guess it would be newsworthy if you treated a woman *with* a spinal cord, like ground up or something. That's about what many of the stem-cell opponents think it's about anyway isn't it - ripping pulsing material from flopping babies to treat wrinkles.
