med students do to bodies, like dress them up in silly party hats and take them to halloween parties. I'm not to fond of going to parties either dead or alive.


And how many grossed out sorority girls would phone the cops if this happened? Its never made the news that I've seen. I doubt it happens.

Okay, add "donate body to medical school" to the possibilities.

I don't know. i don't really like the western options. i don't mind the idea of being exposed in a 'burial' enclosure and having the vultures peck at me, i think thats parsee.

It's always been my life's philosophy that if there are any bits worth transplanting when I die, then I didn't really bend the elbow quite enough.

Right now I'd like to be cremated, and have someone throw my ashes in my boss' face.

My children have been told to cremate me, dig a hole, put me in it and plant a weeping birch in the hole. I want to be part of the tree. :)

I want to be cremated and turned into a reef. There's a company that takes your ashes, mixes them with concrete, molds the mixture into a hollow ball looking thing covered in holes, and sticks a plaque on it with your info. They then drop a bunch of them offshore to turn into artificial reefs.

Of course, your loved ones will have to get scuba certified to visit you.

I checked thrown out with the trash just because I liked that option, but in reality, I would like to be turned into fertilizer. I read an article about it a while back. Can't remember when or where, but it seemed like an excellent idea.

Dontate me to science. If I'm dead I don't care if my arm ends up in a dumpster. I'm dead. Of course, dh isn't too happy with that option. I told him to burn me up then and toss me off the Skyway bridge. He's not real happy with that either. He's so weird about corpses.

Most likely cremated and tossed into Fighting Creek with the rest of my ancestors. But my brother, sister and I are the last of our line. (My brother says, "Well, if we are to be the last, let's go out with a bang! !!" :)

So if I'm to be the very last, and have put my brother and sister in before me, I intend to fly to Africa, walk feebly into a pride of perplexed lions, and whack them all with a stick!

At least I'll be providing a meal to something, and my digested parts will be reincarnated as part of a lion. My remaining parts will become petrified scat on the Serengeti. Somehow fitting, n'est pas? :)

(If I decide to go out with a bang, I'll do something involving rope, myself, and a HUGE fireworks rocket).
