What should happen to YOUR body when you die?

R. U. Serious · Post by **R. U. Serious** » 2005-10-18 09:29am

Given any thought to it? For religious people the answer to this is probably pretty much a given (I think; correct me if I'm wrong). But what about the rest of you people?
Do you want to dedicate it for "scientifical research"/"med-students"? Do you choose whatever is the usually done ritual in your community, because it's the "popular thing to do"? Do you want to cremated because of its cheaper? Or do you think it's most economic (for you) to just not worry, and let relatives make that choice once you're dead?

I want to have my organs donated and buried beside my best friend who died a few years ago. Nothing special. I don't care much, I'll be dead

I consider myself religous but attatch no importance to my body after I am dead. Take what can be salvaged for others, use the shell as meat to eat, use it as a prop for a school play or whatever. I'll probably end up buried and I think burial can often be a good way for the human psyche to accept someone is gone though I guess ash scattering has the same effect. Just so long as whatever friends and family I have get to say their goodbyes I really don't care.

Harvested for organs if possible and necesary and then donated to science, I don't care what happens after that.

Compress me into a diamond.

They're gonna roast my ass over a hot flame. I'm being cremated.

I would like my organs donated, and for my body to be buried under a tree in a forest, surrounded by my buried living and dead enemies.

I wish my rotting corpse to be attached to an animatronics device, so I'll be a moving puppet of decomposition horror to drive onlookers insane.

Seriously, donate the damned thing to science.

I want my organs donated, my muscles carved out and fed to pigs or whatever, and my skeleton to be hanging on a hook in a science class/laboratory. A kid in class should not be deprived of one (like I was).

Bah! Screw this donating organs and bodies. I want my flesh to be eaten by carrion birds and my bones to be an heirloom to be passed on for generations in my family in a nice ossuary.

If I ever become wealthy and crazy (halfway there) I am going to put, as part of my will, a clause that states that I wish to be made into many small diamonds, which my grandchildren must wear in their teeth as bling just so they can get there inheritance. That'll teach em for putting me in a home.

I want whatever usable internal organs of mine donated then I want to be stuffed by a professional taxidermist, incased in a block of clear lucite, and inserted into a wall at my current college campus.

Salvage what's useable (organs/skin/etc), cremate what's left, mix it with some sand and put it in a nice hourglass.

It'll be a great conversation-starter for whoever inherits it

The last time someone asked me this, I said "Just haul my body up in a helicopter, and drop it on a Republican".

More serious, donate it. Useful organs should be donated; the rest can go to science/education.

I'm with the donating crowd, although some of the other suggestions here are seriously funny.

Eleas · Post by **Eleas** » 2005-10-18 01:54pm

For a man so love-starved as I, necrophilia would be most suitable.

Yes, I'm joking. I think I'd want my body to be donated to science, so that in the afterlife, I can remain an elitist bastard boasting loudly of my altruism.

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2005-10-18 02:16pm

Don't especially care. If I'm dead, why should it matter to me what it gets used for?

Post by **NecronLord** » 2005-10-18 02:25pm

When I perish, my body will be preserved beneath a great pyramid of stainless steel a thousand feet high, and all remaining members of Stardestroyer.net shall be slain and entombed with me to serve me in the afterlife.

You think I'm joking now...

Exactly that for me as well.

So, no monoliths or people being encased in metal armor with warscythes with you in a Necrodermis?

Cremate me and spread my ashes in the girls' locker room.

Spoonist · Post by **Spoonist** » 2005-10-18 03:43pm

I'm set up for donation. That probably means carved up by med students though...

How come this isn't a poll though, would have been nice to see some figures...

Braedley · Post by **Braedley** » 2005-10-18 04:03pm

Donate my organs for transplant, and then for science if they can't be transplanted. Cremate the rest.

Post by **weemadando** » 2005-10-18 05:01pm

Probably organ harvesting, compress ashes into a diamond, and then send anything else into space.

Burn me send me into space and blow me up on the other side of the moon
