STUDENTS OFFER BODIES.—Thirteen quantity-surveying students, trainees with a London firm, have responded to the appeal by the Automobile Association for motorists to give their bodies for use in transplant operations. The idea behind the campaign is to sign and carry on the person a form of consent to the medical use of one’s body in the event of death, to save time now lost in obtaining permission from next-of-kin before organs may be removed for grafting. Some of the trainees are shown signing forms outside the Rest Hotel, Kenton, Middlesex.
