“He [Haldane] had left strict instructions about what was to be done with his body. ‘I hope that I have been of some use to my fellow creatures while alive,’ he once wrote, ‘and I see no reason why I should not continue to be so when dead.’ His organs went to the Rangaraya Medical College….. Bones from his ear and from the skull just above it went to the University of Chicago. The rest of his bones were articulated into a skeleton, to be displayed in an anatomy museum. He wanted to give every particle of himself to science.”
