I have decided to give my full body to science.To a local university hospital.
Cadavers have always been in short supply and provide a great resource for students.
I will have no service and my cremated remains will go to my family after they have used my body for whatever reason they see fit.Any bone I have that is healthy can be used for implantation into people who need it.
My 22 yr.old son has a problem with that.I have the paperwork but I have refrained from signing until I can get him on board.My 29 yr.old son is fine with it.
He saw a movie called *pathology* where the medical students were playing around with body parts and being generally horrible as it was a horror movie. He seems to think this is a true possibility and his thought is that it would *totally freak him out* to think someone was messing with me like that after my death.
I have told him ,my body is only a shell and even if that were to happen,I am not there and my soul has left my body, it is not ME.
He said he just can't handle the idea and while I want to leave this earth doing a final good deed,I do not want to do so at the expense of my sons comfort.
I should also mention,the cremation is free and this would be a wise choice for financial reasons as well.
What are your thoughts ?
Thank-you in advance :)
