Plastination for an art exhibit would be cool (look it up - fascinating, but not for the squeamish). However, I don't have any family so there probably won't be the money or the motivation to organise that. I'll probably just get burned or dumped somewhere.escapistrules said:what do you want to happen to your body after you die?)
If I was burnt to generate electricity that would be my absolute ideal disposal.Gladion said:Well, I think people could use the biogases coming from you. Don't be ashamed, we all fart our last fart after we've died.2012 Wont Happen said:I want my viable organs harvested for medical use, the rest of my body I want cremated, and if at all possible I would like the heat from my body to generate some useable energy, although I don't think that will happen.
OT: I'll have my organs donated, why should I care about them after my death?
Well you could have your blood used to rotate a waterwheel. Your intestines could be used als alternators. Your teeth could serve as the little thing that is rattling in spray cans. The possibilities are infinite!2012 Wont Happen said:If I was burnt to generate electricity that would be my absolute ideal disposal.Gladion said:Well, I think people could use the biogases coming from you.

It takes energy to burn a person, and even at that they tend to leave many larger bones intact, which then have to be ground up. People don't burn like logs, you have to keep applying the heat or they stop burning, you can't get usable energy from burning them, unless you extracted the fat and ground up and composted all the other bits.2012 Wont Happen said:I want my viable organs harvested for medical use, the rest of my body I want cremated, and if at all possible I would like the heat from my body to generate some useable energy, although I don't think that will happen.
Basically, I want the most good done with my body as possible, with as few remains left behind as possible.
Most of those would be exceedingly morbid. However, the act of cremation is common already, and the heat energy could be used for electricity. Nothing breaking social mores would be required.Gladion said:Well you could have your blood used to rotate a waterwheel. Your intestines could be used als alternators.
