The woman, Lou Tao, who is also a doctorate student at China’s leading Peking University, wrote the special will when she was sound of mind. “After I’m gone, please leave my head for medical studies. I hope future medical treatment could cure those with ALS. Please follow my words: donate all my other organs to patients in need, as long as they can help save lives,” said Lou, adding that she wants her ashes scattered over the Yangtze River.
Lou’s family signed the donation registration papers on her behalf on Oct. 9 and Lou has been sleeping under deep sedation ever since.

Lou started feeling physically weak since August 2015. She was diagnosed with ALS last January in Beijing. Even on a respirator, the female history PhD student never gave up on her studies. She has listened to more than 60 books during her hospitalization.
The brave and kind woman has touched many hearts in China. On Sina Weibo, many reposted the news about her and expressed their wishes to see Lou make a miracle recovery.
