I have a rare neurological disorder (Tourette's Syndrome), and signed up to donate my brain to Harvard. I'm also an organ donor. Which takes precedence when I die (how do they divvy up the bits), in other words, will my brain donation prevent my other organs from being used for transplants?

I read the information online, but it only says that "Brain donation does not preclude you from donating other useful tissues such as bone, corneas and skin, but it may not be possible to donate certain other organs."

Also, sorry, but can't resist: This ensures at least part of me will go to Harvard.

Awesome! It's a relief to know my body's usefulness will be maximized. I wouldn't want one donation to inhibit the other. Thank you.
