I really don't care what happens to my body after I am gone. There is a way how one can actually help science, I might go that way. You can donate your body to your local university or medical research center in the hospital.

Or just google "donating body".

Would you donate your body?

No offense, and that's all honorable, but they can go fuck themselves.

How about "donating" my health care? Then i'll donate my body.

I shall tell you a secret, something nobody knows except you (now). I wouldn't want to donate my body, but not because I'm evil or stuck up, it's because I'm afraid if I did and someone used my organs they'd end up all depressed and suicidal like I tend to be. I wouldn't want anyone to feel the lonliness or pain I do sometimes...

Live your life with moderation and you won't need health care.

But seriously, what do you need your body for AFTER your death????

P.S.: You can actually get MONEY for it!!! ;)

You are absolutely correct and this is the morally correct approach. You have no need for your body after you depart, so why not allow others to learn from it to advance our knowledge about humans and health by donating it to science.

I hope you will have an accident tomorrow and you lose one eye. Now you could have that replaced, but since you don't want it..... :(

That's a pretty fucked up thing to say.

I, personally, am not so sure that I would take a donated eye - I'm likely to just have a prosthetic eye made.

theres actually a guy...somewhat known, who mummifies bodies of people who originally donated their body to science, and uses them in his art shows....theres always that to consider.

I've been to the exhibit. It's hardly "science".

oh, you moron you get the money NOW, and you sell your body LATER. The best deal ever, basicly you never have to deliver, at least not that you would notice...

I figured as much.

So tell me, what's your body worth to you?
What do they pay?

I do not hope the same thing. I hope you realize your wrong to wish for evil. Because I do not wish you the same.

I am not sure, still trying to find out. looks like kidneys actually worth a lot:

"In North America it's illegal to sell a kidney. This isn't to say people haven't tried; recently someone tried to hawk their kidney on eBay, only to have it pulled by the site -- but not before the price reached epic proportions. There's good reason for this: At this moment, at least a million people worldwide need a kidney, and quickly."

So far for the whole body what I have found was a free cremation and travel (of the body). :cool:

I don't wish you wrong. I wish you to get educated. I used an analogy...Looks like it worked... :)

In Optometry School I disected cadavers. These were people who had donated their bodies to science. Since our focus was on the eye, we had more heads than cadavers and actually had four or five buckets full of human heads. We used these to learn the anatomy of the head backwards and forwards.

It was somewhat disturbing to think that these disembodied heads were once living breathing people and now reside in a bucket full of heads.

Still, without their donation, doctors would not be able to learn anatomy properly. And, of course, the alternative is rotting in the ground.

MorTality, my man, morTality... :)

By the way, what is the problem with proving a point? I wished him that he could find out on his own how important is to have OTHERS donating their bodies...
