Do you REALLY recycle?
What does everybody plan on doing with themselves after expiration? I would hope that most of you are planning to donate your bodies to science post-mortem. It still boggles my fucking mind that we insist upon saving our dead people. In prime real estate, no less.
Anyways, I'm donating my corpse to the University of Pittsburgh. You? |
Cremation.
|
I've been on the donor register since the 1970's - but nobody wants me and I just won't die!
|
..... and I've left my liver to the Drambuie Foundation.

I'm a donor, if they can salvage anything useful from me. I've never really thought about what to do with the rest of me that they don't want.
Do universities want a chopped up body? |

There's all kinds of things can be done with your pieces and parts, nkb! |
I'm an organ donor. What they don't harvest will be donated to the IUPUI med school, and what they don't use will be cremated.

I tried to donate myself pre-mortem, but they just laughed and called my caretaker to take me away. Obviously they have no appreciation for a well-tuned physique. :eh: |

So, what exactly needs to be done (will, special directive, etc) to set up the post-scavenge donation?
|
Once I win a gazillion dollars in the lottery, which I have never ever played because I think it's a waste of money, I intend of shooting my dead carcass out into space with the minute or virtually nonexistent yet larger than zero hope of malevolent aliens having the technology to bring me back to life.
Actually, if I had a gazillion dollars I'd probably, if I wanted to be a greedy asshole, spend half a gazillion dollars towards freezing my body in hopes of humans once discovering technology that would enable me to live again. |

As much as I love exploring cemeteries I'd rather be cremated or composted then preserved uselessly in a space wasting box. On a side note back when my friend was studying to be a physician's assistant he let me and another friend check out his cadaver. Way freakin' cool, I even shook his hand (the one that was left that is) but by Fuck I'll never forget that odor! |

I've already mentioned many times to my wife that I do not want to be buried or kept in an urn, but I should probably make it official. |
