Will you be donating your body to science?

Cause a shipment of heads and other body parts from American donorrs that got donated to science was intercepted on a Chinese cargo shipping container....

I won't be... Not since I found out that most bodies donated to medical science end up being used to practice plastic surgery on...

@Quizzical some of them go to dental schools...my friend said from the time I knew her in high school that she was going to be a dentist, and her mother told her when she was in college that they saved the heads for dental students and she decided to major in accounting.

@KayraJordyn Hahaha. Definitely didn't. Honestly, it's a scary good read.
Of course it's a scary good read, I just hope it doesn't scare me to death!

When I was in college I tried to sell my body to Harvard medical school. They sent me a letter saying that they couldn’t pay me due to budgetary restraints, but I could donate my body to them. I think back in those days supposedly they paid $100 a couple hundred dollars for a body. It doesn’t sound like much now but it was pretty big bucks back in 1969

Sounds like they got tricked into a donation that turned out to be illegal organs trafficking

Considering China is the world's top dealer in black market organs that sounds about right.

@UndeadPrivateer you'd think they would be selling Chinese heads all over the world.

@cherokeepatti You would think that with their population and how they've been processing inmates for organs, but apparently not. At least if you ignore the black market exports. For those there's a lot of Chinese parts around the world.

That sounds a bit sketchy. I'll have to investigate...

Not planning to die, but if I do, then hell no. Why would I waste any postmortem efforts assisting a world with the audacity to thwart my plans for immortality?

Nah.. just throw me in the ground and let the bugs have their way

nah. whats the point of having your body mutilated by college kids.

@SW-User It came out recently that some dental students took selfies in the classroom posing with human heads from bodies that had been donated.
Ew. But when you think about it. What does dead anyone need a head for anyway?

No, just the bits that can be used by burn victims, my eyes and any useful organs.
My old pastor had a son who passed in an accident @4meAndyou. His body was donated and affected and/or saved several dozens of lives. Even in death he saved. Just like Jesus. :)

@KayraJordyn Well, I don't aspire to be like Jesus, but when I move out of this "mobile home" it's not going to bother me one bit if they take down the curtains and re-use them.
Lol that second part was awesome. Like.
