Sure you wouldn't rather be part of "Bodies... The Exhibition"?

http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/




Yes, that stuff is just flat out sick and all it does is desensitize people to what should be held sacred, and that is the miracle of human sentient existence. Remember when it was called the personal department? Now it's called human resources; starting to get the picture? The ship called humanity is way off course and we as a bunch really need to work on getting that ship back on course.

I don't see much human existence in the above picture, just a dead body. The only potential problem I would see with such exhibitions is whether the original, umm, 'wearers' of the bodies consented to such use of them. 

Seriously now, I'd prefer my dead body to be devoted to medical purposes, but to be honest I don't care what's done with it, as long as it's not used to do anything harmful. It'd end up as worm food or ash anyway.

Your point about the personal (personell?) department vs human resources is well taken, but IMO at worst it's just calling a spade a spade. At best 'human resources' will still be treated like people - as far as such treatment is possible in a capitalist economy, anyway.

I've already told my friends. I want to be cremated, and then have my ashes baked into a cake. Then the cake can be fed to my enemies as a joke. Then their feces will be launched into space.Thumbs Up

Or maybe in the filed of ireland or somewhere green and open such as that =]

Just buried now I'm becoming increasingly conventional, but not in a mass grave! And if my facial features are still preserved by some strange fortune when some trespasser disturbs my rest and no one who might have known me is alive (let's say 100 or 120 years after my passing), they may put my body on display if they want to.

My body will float down the muddy river until a fisherman finds it and steals my watch.

See, if the Zombie apocalypse happens during our lifetime, we've seen enough movies and played enough video games that I think we're well prepared to survive such an event.  But if it happens after we die, there's no way we're missing out on the fun!  You can't be a zombie if your body is cremated!
 
I was going to pick viking funeral, but you sir have changed my mind LOL

I can only guess from your post that you'd like to be buried. Tongue

Can we at least dig you?

Other:
I have specified that my brain be kept alive and full of oxygen untill a suitable replacement body is found.  I don't plan on asking my executor how this replacement is found.  If I eventually strike it super rich then I suppose I could just clone myself.


Time always wins.
