Khaberni - Global media outlets have revealed that Bruce Willis's family is prepared to handle the developments of his health condition that could lead to his death at any moment, while the anticipated book by his wife Emma Heming Willis uncovers a shocking decision regarding the donation of his brain after death.
Bruce Willis's wife revealed that she is preparing to donate the actor's brain to scientists after his death, in order to support research on the rare frontal temporal dementia he has been suffering from for several years.
According to "peopletalk", Emma detailed in the book the daily challenges the family faces in dealing with the disease, explaining that they have had to develop new methods of communication with Willis, as a result of his loss of normal speech and mobility.
She emphasized that donating his brain would represent a valuable scientific contribution that could help researchers study the protein and genetic mutations associated with frontal temporal dementia, which might enhance the methods of diagnosis and treatment in the future.
It is worth noting that frontal temporal dementia affects specific areas in the brain that impact behavior, language, and personality, and remains one of the least understood neurological diseases compared to other types of dementia.
The book mentions that the family made this decision after much thought, considering transforming personal suffering into a scientific legacy as a way to benefit other patients and their families worldwide, with a focus on the humane and scientific aspect of confronting one of the most complex neurological diseases.
It is worth mentioning that Bruce Willis left his artistic activities in the spring of 2022 following the worsening of his health condition, and his wife began providing daily care for him at a specially equipped home to help him cope with the changes caused by the disease. Emma also added that the family developed a "new language" to communicate with him, as he lost the ability to speak normally.
