The wife of seriously ill actor Bruce Willis, Emma Heming-Willis, announced that she wants to donate her husband’s brain after he died for scientific research. This is reported by The WP Times.
The actress called the decision “emotionally difficult, but important for science.” According to her, this will help scientists in the study of frontotemporal dementia, which Willis suffers from.
In 2022, Bruce ended his acting career due to health reasons. A year later, the actor’s family reported that Willis was given an accurate diagnosis – “frontotemporal dementia.” There is currently no treatment for this disease. Heming noted that as her husband’s condition worsened, conversations about his possible death became an integral part of their family life.
At the end of the summer, Bruce Willis’s relatives decided to move him to another home, where he is under the 24-hour supervision of caregivers. Emma said she did this for the sake of their daughters, 11-year-old Evelyn and 13-year-old Mabel.
