I don't really care. I guess other people can have my organs, but being a smoker and having been a heavy drinker, I have to wonder what part of me could be of some worth to someone else.

Sarah thought i was really silly for thinking it was a nice design.. but i do kinda like this coffin made in Germany by Uono. It's a completely environmentally friendly design using materials that are both well-suited for cremation and wellsuited to burial. it's made to decompose in roughly 10-15 years without hurting the environment.

To top it all, it looks like an escape pod and is availabe in about a dozen cool colors!

I did a psychology degree and we all got a human brain passed around. I think this was an attempt to go 'wow, psychology's cool, look how cool all the lecturers are with their brain in a box' since it contributed absolutely nothing to the degree course.

It was surprisingly heavy. And a bit wet.

Edit: Honestly though props to ya Him for being the only other person I saw who wanted burial at sea.

Kudos to all those who are organ donors. For those who feel that their organs may be less than prime due to vices or other issues, don't let that steer you away from the program that I mentioned in the first post. Donating organs saves lives directly, immediately, and is a very worthy cause. The future doctors of the world need bodies to dissect and examine to make them competent practioners, however. It is less direct than organ donation, but the contribution is invaluable to human lives. I couldn't imagine learning anatomy thoroughly and effectively without seeing everything physically, how the nerves travel in the body, how the arteries travel, how everything functions so beautifully in a compact space, how every body is different but similar enough to provide the same function. Some medical schools stopped anatomy lab dissections and focused solely on prosections but quickly resumed because of how much of the medical knowledge relies on seeing and feeling and digging through for oneself. I think its a consumately important program and hope that people will consider it.


That said, I'd have to go Andrew FTW.

I believe in my heart that the manner of my death will eradicate the need for the disposal of a body.

i was figuring organ donation followed by cremation and then having my ashes scattered at sea - but then again, my philosophy (with cars, at least) is maintain them as well as you can, then drive them till they die - don't see why that wouldn't work for me too. in which case, my organs may be well past warranty when the time comes. so the cadaver thing actually sounds pretty good - especially since one place will do the cremation and ashes-at-sea thing for you. that's the main thing, i don't want to be rotting away in a hole somewhere. since i work at a medical school, guess i should check out what sort of plan they have.

....and omega - you're a medical student?
