m4rble Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 What would you like done with your body after you die? Β I think I would like some kind of green burial so my body can become part of new living things instead of being stuck in the earth forever. In this same vein, after death organ donation seems appealing, but I think that's only viable in specific situations where your organs would still be useful after death.Β Link to post Share on other sites

Silk Bones Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'd like to be cremated.Β I'm still debating on whether I want to donate any organs or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If I die naturally I want my organs donated to help give someone else a chance at life. I then want to be cremated and for it to be as simple and cheap as possible. Β If I commit suicide my organs can't be donated so just a simple cremation will do. Link to post Share on other sites

OpticCanoe Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If my organs are healthy enough to be donated to other people then I would like that to happen. After that I want to be cremated as I have this big fear of being buried alive. My ashes can be used for whatever really Link to post Share on other sites

WinterWanderer Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'd prefer to be cremated, if I had to choose. Or anything besides being buried, really. I don't like the idea of someone spending thousands of dollars on a stuffy casket. There doesn't seem to be much point in spending that amount of money on a dead person. Β I'm an organ donor, as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Muledeer Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Green burial for me, please.Β No embalming, no funeral.Β I already own the gravesite near my parents, grandparents and great grandparents in the same cemetery.Β I should print this page and put it with my important papers........

Arctangent Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'd donate mine to science/medicine. I won't be needing it anymore, so might as well allow some researcher or medical student to learn something from it. Plus, whole body donation programs often cover the costs of body transportation and cremation, which would save money and streamline the process for my surviving relatives as well.

somethingartsy Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 As a young person, no, aΒ young person, it seems super weird to think about this, but okay.

Polygon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Freeze that shit in cryo so the eggheads can figure out how to bring me back. Death is fun and all, but not interested in doing it forever.Β Β Actual answer: Might consider donating to science, or maybe getting one of those hipster burials where you become nutrients for a tree or something.Β Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamer23 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I really couldn't care less - I'll be dead after all! Probably don't keep my body rotting in the streets though - that sounds like a health hazard. Dump me somewhere, burn me, whatever. Β In the unlikely case that I die in an environment where organ donation after death is viable, I guess that'd be nice. (which is usually just accidents with fast first responders - organ donation after regular cardiac death isn't really a thing unless you die in a hospital that is properly equipped for it) Link to post Share on other sites
Residentshadow Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I worked that out agesΒ ago. I am to be cremated, my ashes are to be mixed with a bag of potting soil and I'll be used to plant fruit trees for my family. Link to post Share on other sites
