can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?
i want my final action to be a big middle finger to the funeral industry picking on people in their weakest moments.
Donate your body for medical students to dissect
This is harder to do than you might think. First of all you have to have it all arranged beforehand. You can’t do it last second. The bigger problem is a lot of places don’t have the facilities to come get a body from random places. On top of that they don’t want every body. Most places are looking for bodies that exhibit certain criteria. Certain diseases or certain disorders or anything that makes the medical useful for study.
I’m surprised they have so many bodies to use
People are dying to volunteer.
Seconded. Many schools have programs that will help with funeral costs if you donate.
