# Why doesn't she just have you stuffed?

# I have looked into the legality of this.
I was considering having my innards burned so that Jim can have a proper funeral for me, but having myself stuffed.

I wonder if I could sell myself in advance?

# That is illegal,
but having me taxidermied is fine.

I was going to donate myself to my friend Derron, but it has since become clear that, hideous accident aside, I am going to outlive him.

Legality aside, Tom, who is terminally ill, has requested a quite illegal 'burning barge at sea', which I will try not to get arrested when I do.

# My father has recently informed me
of his decision to leave his cadaver to Manchester university for medical research. He's extremely anti-theist and wants to make sure that there is no possibility of a fraudulent god-botherer presiding over a meaningless ceremony and this I agree with. But when he actually signed the papers and asked for my 'blessing' as it were, I could not give it and we've had quite an argument about it.
I just don't want to think of grubby medical students ( who as with most students have no respect or morals ) slowly dissecting my father over 3 years and then for me to receive a letter informing me that they burned him ( which is the process ). If I find him first when he croaks I have told him he's going to the peat bog and fuck his wishes and the authorities.

# I don't care what happens to his corpse
as long as it is dealt with. Same for myself. I just don't think that there is any dignity or use in it. I don't think that he really understands the implications of it and believes he might be a part of some great and helpful medical breakthrough rather than as a slab of meat for hungover wannabe surgeons to practice cutting up and take the piss out of.

# from what i've gathered having a real cadaver to use does aid learning better than computer simulations
i'd prefer to be a part of the bodyworks exhibition though

# I quite like the idea of surgeons having actually cut up something very like a living human before they try operating on me.

# i've met and lived with medical students
the only thing i find creepier than a witchdoctor saying his nasty shamanistic rites over me is that horrible lot having anything to do with me. medical science be damned.
