What happens to your body when you die?

Cryogenics, FTW.

Seriously though, as long as they're sure I'm dead, they can take my organs. Not like I'll be needing them...

Mine is already slated to be organ harvested and what they cannot use will be cremated and stored in an urn in a little cemetery in Wichita Falls, Texas. I already have the organ thing in writing for both my wife and I and we have already paid for the cremation and the shelf at the mausoleum for the urns to sit.

I have no need for any of that stuff in whatever comes next, I am sure of that.

Wichita Falls, dude, your after-life is going to be so shitty.

I like the shot into space option!

I would like to be cremated after donating organs, but of course it all depends on how I die. If you die from general cancer, well they wont take any organs of course. For me and my beliefs, I would like to have a religious ceremony and be buried beside my mother or husband (if I have one).

Well thats where the rest my kin is so that is where I will end up. At least (unlike most of them) I got to see some part of the world outside of there while I was alive. I just hope someone gets to make some use out of my heart/kidneys/liver or whatever. Well maybe not the liver. I think I will have used that one up completely by then. I really do not get people that are opposed to organ donation. Its not like I need that stuff at that point in time.

I've always told my wife that I want to be burried nude, upright and in the naked earth. In our front yard.

But... but... they'll use my body and make me come back against my will as a cyborg!!!!

I am an organ donor. Everyone should sign up when they're young, so that you can give the gift of life if the worst happens and you die young. If you make it to old age you'll probably be grasping after someone else's lightly used organs anyway... might as well be nice and put your name in the hat in case you're the one that goes first. I'm currently using someone else's achilles tendon as the ACL in my right knee and it feels great. I feel sorry for the guy that died, but at least his achilles tendon can continue to be a part of some awesome sports action. And boning.

Whatever is left after donation is to be formed into an awesome death metal guitar, to be used in a metal cover of "The Final Countdown" and then smashed onstage.
