Like a boss, tossed the bow back before seeing impact. I'll hire him for my funeral anyway.

Donating your body to a medical school is super helpful to the next generation of medical professionals. Dissecting humans really gives you a better appreciation and respect for the miracle of life and is an incredible way to learn anatomy.

If you’re lucky some redneck med-student will get to show off his field dressing skills on you.

So your junk can end up in a gerber jar on a shelf in some classroom. No thanks.

I've instructed my wife to have me stuffed (full body mount of course) and place me in my favorite recliner in the living room. Can't believe no one thought of this one yet!

Yeah, if you look at medical history, the way we've gained incalculably useful information is kinda calculated in human atrocities.

Cadaver donation is the best way we have to continue progress in that field while reducing the costs. Cutting up willing dead folk is better than digging up unwilling ones or experimenting on the insane, imprisoned, or otherwise disenfranchised.

We had a cadaver we nicknamed “Brahma Bull”…. No homo

I told my wife to flush me ill b dead and so it won't matter to me

Cemeteries and grave plots always seemed strange to me and creeped me out a little. I think I would go the cremation route and leave behind a list of coordinates of some of my favorite places, along with dying-wish instructions for my kids to spread some of my ashes at each location together.

... Not that I care about where my remains end up, but rather I think it would be one last cool way to share some of my favorite places with my kids. One last hike together to the overlook, one last trek to a fishing hole, etc.

It is good to read how many here are signed up for organ donation.

However...some things you may not know:

1. Unless you die in a hospital, the probability of your organs being usable is close to zero
2. Your family can override your wishes after you are dead. Make sure you discuss your organ donation wishes with them well before.

That being said, kudos on signing your organ donor card!

You guys remind me some of the other options out there. Made some good points too. I am a donor. Goal is to live to the point where my organs are too old to be of used. But if they are still useable, let them be uses.

Make me curious about what happens to bodies that are donated to science AFTER the class. Not to be morbid, but I'm totally fine being in this exhibition!

I saw this as a teen, it was amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Organ donor Then cremation what’s left u throw in the trash or till into the ground Makes no difference to me

 

[Slabzilla73]

Im listed as an Organ donor myself. They should get everything but my liver . Cremation currently is the plan. Divide the dust up into 4 piles & a tiny capsule. #1 for the woods I hunt. #2 for Saginaw Bay, where I fish. #3 Throw some off the Cut River Bridge in the Upper Peninsula. #4 Sprinkle a pile in Wayne National Forest, my other favorite hunting spot so I can be with our camp every year. And the capsule can either be put in a stock of a gun or handle of a knife, so Ill always be there with whosoever is in the woods hunting.

Our moose camp did this to commemorate a member who passed away in 2014. This was his favourite watch where we hunt up north. It's pretty remote and you have to know where it is to find it.

Every year we all gather there after a run and pay our respects. I can think of worse ways to be remembered.



My favourite memory of Vic is back from 1993 (been hunting with this gang for a looooong time!).....It was game 6 of the World Series. Back then all we had was a flakey radio, no TV (we're back to no TV....don't miss it!). All the other guys had bailed and gone to bed. Propane lights were turned down low and a fire was flickering in the old stove. Vic and I were the only two left up, drinks in hand and huddled around a battered radio that was fading in and out, listening to the play by play. Bottom of the 9th, Joe Carter hit a three run home run to win the series for the Blue Jays. Vic and I were hooting, hollering and dancing around celebrating the win. We could have woke the dead.....and even some of our slumbering hunt companions.

RIP, Vic!

Most body parts are treated as pathological medical waste and are incinerated at a medical waste treatment facility. Sometimes hospitals or medical research facilities will contract with a cremation company to transport / cremate the remains.
Your body loses your identity and becomes a number.
