    you know when you get your liscence and they give you the donor card and say 'if you want you can fill this out, and if something happens to you, you can list here what you want donated.
    So, What did you decide? And how do you feel about it?
    I checked off the take what you need box lol, i mean, im dead, I'm not using my pieces! my one concern used to be what if I have an open casket burial and people see my like, deflated emptied shell, but like, whatever, they can stuff me with feathers :p lol
    What did you decide, and why?

    you know, i read an article in philosophy class by this ex skin harvesting doctor in 'Korea?", Forgive me , its ignorant i know, but it was an asian place whose name I forget.
    Anyways, after someone was executed, they'd rush the body to and ambulance type thing(but made for death, not life saving), and he would remove as much skin as p[ossible to sell to burn victims on the hospitals black market.
    there are alot of horror stories, One I just heard actually that somewhere in ontario they were using stolen organs from dead bodies and giving them to transfer recipients, in a hospital here.
    freaky stuff, yes, but only because there was no permission given right? Im not sure how i feel about it.

    I want my organs placed in jars next to my mummified body in the basement of my own little pyramid. If, however, I don't become Pharoh of Egypt, they can do what they want with them:rolleyes:

    not officially registered yet, but take me organs when I'm dead, I don't need them. Hell, if someone I loved needed an organ that I could afford to donate, I'd be up for it (assuming we were compatible matches, organ-wise)

    they cant have my remains for research. i just cant handle the idea of some immature med student playing with my innards.

    however, if somone needs tissue or organs, they can take those.

    I'm almost certain I checked yes when I filled out my app for my driver's license, but it's not on my license. Though I'm sure when they scan it, it probably comes up. If not, my family and my boyfriend know I want my organs donated. There is absolutely no point in keeping valuable assets that could help someone else in a dead body. Not to mention, directly after my funeral, I want to be cremated. I wanted a big hooplah that involved my body in the midst of a burning woodpile in the middle of a forest with fairies dancing around, spreading pixie dust, but seeing as that is nowhere near realistic, I'll stick with cremation and splitting the ashes amongst my love ones to do with as they wish (spread them or keep them), and have a particular In Memory stone somewhere special (undecided as of yet) where part of my ashes are sprinkled, too. I hate the idea of being buried in a box eternally...I'm a free spirit and I'd like to remain so in death.

    Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure they can pump you full of stuff so that you don't look deflated. Trust me, my grandpas both had open caskets and they both looked massively puffy...too puffy. Bah, the mortuary make-up artists around here are dumb. lol

    when the body i walk arround in, no longer supports my doing so, i would prefer it's substance, be returned to the nature, which so generously loaned it to my awairness.

    if you want to use them to save other lives, do medical research, eat them, or use them in some form of amusement, feel free to do so. when i, meaning my awairness, no longer have need or use of them, what the flying fishcakes difference does it make, WHAT is done with them?

    but i would prefer, ether they be put to some good use, or returned to the earth,
    whichever is more considerate of the ongoing diversity of nature.

    Be sure that I'm dead first, and then take what you need.
