Ill donate my organs and what not. But my whole body? I dont know. Really havent thought about it too much.
That is exactly what I've told my children. I showed them a 40 foot linen sheet in a plastic bag and said to rinse me off in my pond, roll me neatly in the sheet and bury me between my pond and the road. I'm rural and it is legal. There is a spot where snowbells pop up every spring and that is where I intend to be. I also told them to throw some seeds or seedlings over the area that I might encourage new growth of some kind. I have a large, 3 feet, rock to mark the spot.No. I have no say in what it will be used for, and I'd rather it not be used for testing and improving some of the more destructive things humans tend to make.
At this point in time, I think the best and most beneficial thing I could do with my body is provide it as fertilizer. No box, no embalming fluid, just stick me in the ground.
Did you receive a new heart?
Other than wanting all my usable organs to go toward transplants, I don't really give a rats ass what happens to my corpse (unless coming back as a brain eating zombie is an option. I want that.)
No, my heart made a significant recovery with drug therapy and what not. Although the prognosis says odds are it well happen
Youre not a zombie already?
my other thread inspired me to start it .l personally dont want to donate my body to science because İ dont .dont expect to hear reasonable explanations from me because it is more sensitive part of donation in my opinion .
but l appreciate anyone who decides to do it too.
as a side note İ know some unbelievers want neither to be buried nor to be creamated and they decide to donate their body to medical science.
l would like to hear their ideas about it.
Nah, I'm more of a reader.
^^ I said this above, but most donated cadavers go to universities for medical students to practice surgery and learn anatomy. Perhaps it comes as a surprise, but they don't let doctors perform surgeries without giving them the opportunity to practice. So if grandma benefited from a hip surgery during her lifetime, perhaps she believes that donating her body may help another 2,000 people who will be the patients of those doctors.my other thread inspired me to start it .l personally dont want to donate my body to science because İ dont .dont expect to hear reasonable explanations from me because it is more sensitive part of donation in my opinion . but l appreciate anyone who decides to do it too. as a side note İ know some unbelievers want neither to be buried nor to be creamated and they decide to donate their body to medical science. l would like to hear their ideas about it.
I don't know. I never thought about it, but I guess if someone really needed it....
I told my son that I wanted to be creamated and he reacted with shock and proceeded to tell his whole baseball team how weird I was for wanting to be burned.
