I expect some future doc will learn a good bit about deterioration of the liver.
Yup! News Flash!
Amen.
LOL!
Which ones have you donated?
I can only assume you've saved the best parts for last.
Great book that exposes what happens when you donate your body for research: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. You don’t always end up being used for medical student practice. You could be dropped from a height to test what happens, you could be used for product research, etc. If you don’t want any of these things to happen to your body after death, you need to make a specified donation.
...Or buried for a month or two in a pasture, then dug up and see what happens to a human body during, say, Summer. (Not that it matters after death—you're not feeling a thing, and the forenics folks are generally respectful of the donation).
That’s one way to avoid funeral expenses!

Pre-pickled innards.
the religion of humanism...be nice basically
the elixir from which the goblin of liberalism sprouts
that and guilt...a commodity which some simply must have
guilt is way overrated.
shame...not so much anymore
It was either in that book or another about cadavers that talked about cadaver “abuse”... cutting off certain body parts and putting them into someone’s pocket, throwing bits of body at each other, posing people, etc. The people in charge frown on this of course, but you know it happens.
I have already said that my carcass is available ... just like my shoes or anything else ... if I’m dead ... have at it.

Yeah - I’m an organ donor too, with the stipulation that my liver goes to a Democrat.

My Attorney is a big Lib ... hope he smiles when I tell him of my new Stipulation.

(for years he has told everyone that I was OK, just need to get my mind right, lately I think I am getting his mind right)
I think Mr. H thought he was poking another finger in God’s eye by not allowing a funeral or burial/cremation. From the sounds of his rants while he lived, he had a very sketchy and strange concept of anything surrounding or concerning religious life, its practices, and its traditions. He tried to sound like something of an expert, but even if he had had four years of postgraduate Theology, he still didn’t understand even half of what he knew.
