What do you mean there won't be a conscious mind? The conscious mind is the universe and all matter interconnected
The thought of it gives me the heebee jeebees. I respect donating your body but its not for me. It freaks me out. Besides, I doubt that doctors are running out of cadavers to work with.
I'm an organ donor. I totally support anyone's decision to not be one though. I say cremate me and scatter my ashes on my land. Make my funeral as cheap as possible. If my family get any money from my demise, or my liver can go to a drunk to ruin another one I don't give a shit.
i'm an organ donor, i'm planning on donating to medical science as well, if i can (although i gather that, unless there's a shortage, medical colleges only take corpses which haven't had any transplants, and organ donations are a higher priority, so its unlikely they'll take mine.) fuck it, I'm not using it, might as well be useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B_Yw-JAnuw"]The Merits of...

fair enough, man. it is a weird thought (plus having seen what a lot of the medical students round here get up to on their nights off, i'm loathe to let em get their hands on me lol) shortages are rare, especialy compared to the damand for organ transplants, but they do happen occasionally, and increasingly as demand increases. dig the new sig, btw.
I really wanna do that. But what if I donate to a med school in Brazil, and end up dying in Thailand or Hong Kong?
almost certainly your family would have to call up a medical school in the area in which you died, and the body would probably end up going there (depending on your pre-stated wishes and the laws of the country in regards to donations). the deterioration in the body over the time it would take to make arrangements to transport to another country would almost certainly make it unuseable, not to mention the cost, which would probably be charged to your estate.
i carry my multidonar card with me everywhere i go.also its good ta make sure a few different people have a card belong to ya.cos other people could die before ya and would'nt be there ta see ta your wishes. its great ta be able ta give life ta someone after your own death.cos the worms will only be eating your body anyway when your buried and thats a waste.unless your being cremated of course ,which i won't be.
I'm donating everything once I kark it. A part of me would be glad I've saved a life, and that would be amazing. Another part is like, well some of me lives on in a way, too.
Yeah, the fact that I live a highly mobile and largely family-free lifestyle gives me pause in donating my body or making cremation arrangements. It just seems like a legal maze, but I might do it anyhow.
There's no evidence if those slaughters show respect to your body. What's holy? The human body. Those people really slaughter you, they take everything they can take and stuff you right before your mourning, I just find the thought very disturbing. My insides kept my life in my body, they belong to me and shall we support any life in general?
Many organs have an expiry date of only a few days. Think about all the wasted material that's cut out of people that expire. I wouldn't want that to happen to my body at all. I'd rather keep it all inside me and have burned with me than have it tossed out in a dumpster.
