Man learns mom’s body was sold to US military for ‘blast testing’
Fox 6 ^ | 30 July 2019

.... Doctors worried the disease may have mutated, and hoped to study her brain after her passing to find out more.

When the time came though, her neurologist couldn’t accept the body. Her son hoped reaching out to other donation facilities could lead to the same result.

Days later, he received a wooden box with his mother’s information and an ID number. Inside, he was told, was a majority of her ashes. Years went by before Stauffer learned what he was told, wasn’t the case.

“She was then supposedly strapped in a chair on some sort of apparatus, and a detonation took place underneath her to basically kind of get an idea of what the human body goes through when a vehicle is hit by an IED.”

When I'm finished with my body, the high bidder takes it.

If no offers, park me out back for the coyotes to clean up.

The coyotes took out a deer in a neighbors yard, after three nights most of the bones were gone.

When I’m gone I want to be all burned up.

I want my carbons Free! to wander the earth.

In NYC late 1800’s when horses died , carcass was .left in the street until “picked up”

Of you’re an organ donor over the age of 25 then this is what happens to you.

A lot of times they use your body to train dogs.

Maybe he should have coughed up the money for a cremation.

I’d donate my body to be blown up by the military. Awesome idea thanks ! It’s amazing how much we had to spend for a cremation and all the hoopla when my father passed away. I’d rather not cost my family anything and if it helped them design safer trucks for young soldiers Id be honored 🇺🇸👍

Whenever anyone asks me what I want to have happen with my corpse, my standard response is, “Surprise me.”

YES!

That said, the research may be uncomfortable to some but very important if you are riding in an APC.

Just another story for the family history...

Yeah, she was MI5, agent Orange. Really hush, hush.

George Carlin had a great skit on death.

“When I die, I want to be blown up. There he goes, God love him!”

While at the wake. “The people don’t know you are lying there with no back in your jacket and short pants on”.

I believe I actually participated in this test; I discussed (in some detail) why using elderly cadavers with extensive co-morbidity is problematic because of the difficulty of extrapolating results to live, healthy, young soldiers. I would personally have preferred to use live terrorists, but that sort of thing was frowned upon by the brass.

My children are instructed to throw my used body on a stack of pallets and light it up. Bring marshmallows.

My Dad has made arrangements to donate his body as a cadaver to the local University Teaching Hospital.

What they’ll learn from a man who has outlived his liver has kidney stones and dementia is beyond me, but have at it, Dad!

P.S. And these are the same people that OBJECT to a fully GROWN Human Being, being experimented upon, but killing a BABY in the womb is A-OK?

Whatever.

By any chance do you live on or near the Ganges River?

I tell my kids they can toss my body in a dumpster behind 7-11 rather than pay those crooks in funeral homes $12K to get rid of it.

Now I find out I can be blown up real good instead! That's awesome!
