    Default Donating your body for medical research.

    Say you'd decided to let your corpse be used for experimental purposes, what would you like them to do with it, if you could stipulate the circumstances?

    I'd like my lungs to be dried out, placed into a bong and smoked to see if they'd get you stoned.

    Come on gang, I'm sure you can be more inventive than that!

    I used to work for a medical association.

    In fact, my office was just above the "cadaver lab."

    I can promise folks this: you cannot imagine how completely a cadaver is "utilized" when donated for research and education.

    Bong-readied lungs? You mean you'd give up both lungs for just one single experiment? You're lungs are not that special.

    Bollocks to that. They can have them when I've finished with them.

    Not that special? How dare you! They've been sucking in Mary Jane fumes for 30 years and they're still goi....

    That explains it.

    My middle brother has been sucking them in for 5 years less and he has a Bsc in Human Biology And Infectious Diseases, or some such shit. What does that explain?

    I might donate some organs but overall I just want to be turned to ash and scattered on the waters.

    Anything useful that anyone can do with my body is great as far as I'm concerned. Organ donation, chop it up for science, make it into human jerky and eat it, whatever.

    Only after I'm dead, though. Just to clarify.

    Too late, the harvesters have already been dispatched.
