no way - this is an awesome way to use dead people....if i knew i'd be used in such experiments, i'd definitely sign up.

I'm sure I've heard of that kinda thing before....when I go, I wanna become a crash test dummy! Not a member of the band of the same name of course, although being dead would be a suitable condition in that case....

It's a little-known fact that Brad Roberts actually died back in 1990.

Upon reading this thread further and reflecting on the implications, I think a neural download would be appropriate prior to letting the carrion birds have at my corpse, so I could later *be* an alcoholic criminal robot.

I wan't to be cremated and sprinkled into some really strong skunk for my friends to smoke. Anyone ever seen that episode of Star Trek TNG where they fnid three people who were cryogenically frozen in the nineties. That'd be so cool waking up next to Picard and Data etc. with a new universe to explore. I think I'd go straight to the hollodeck and load the Jenni Aniston program, but seriously where would the 'love spray' end up seeing as your just banging light? What was the topic again?
For ten thousand years he slept, his mind feeding on the nightmares of the weak. Now he has awakened. As the night turned crimson, the fire-blade shattered and his power died. Then, the slaughter began... |

I'm going to guess that most of the people on this forum are too young to have thought of writing a will. In that case, this thread is technically serving as the written wishes of those who have participated. Better watch what you wish for.

[i didn't want to continue the cremation discussion in Mr. Larbalestier's thread.. ]
i always assumed that cremation was the more environmentally sound practice, but recently i've heard about how a huge amount of mercury (and other chemicals) pollutes the environment because of it.
anyone got some scientific statistics? |

No but I can ask my local crematorium The Eternal Flame.
None of the Bangles work there, sadly.

Isn't it amazing that people allow mercury to be put in their mouth? It is so toxic that you are not supposed to make skin contact with it, yet people have it permanently implanted into their mouths. Not me, thanks. |

Floop you totally beat me to the punch here. I was thinking of starting this thread after the subject came up on the Simon thread.
Many of my relatives chose to be cremated and then buried in one of several family plots. I thought that was kinda cool. My grandfather (who died just two years ago at the age of 96 chose this). I remember a few years before he died he made all of his own arrangements (which he wanted to do, but at the same time hated having to do). I asked him why he would want to be cremated and then buried. He said he thoughts coffins were a waste of money and he didn't like the thought of his body rotting in the ground). It made sense to me.
My husband and I visited a cemetary where my great-grandparents are on Thursday evening. We started to discuss what we would want if we died. You know.....just couldn't decided. All we did decide is that we wanted to be placed (whether ashes spread somewhere, buried, etc.) next to each other, or in the case of spreading ashes....in the same location.
Now....onto my cremation story that I didn't want to tell off topic on Simon's thread.
So my best friend and her husband were actually living at a funeral home for a few years. They were finishing up their master degrees...didn't have much money and the funeral home had an apartment hooked to it. They were able to live there rent free and they helped with some grounds keeping and funeral services on the weekend.....oh...and on rare occassions went out to help pick up bodies.
I will never forget one of the first times I went to visit her at her new crib (which was actually quite nice). It was evening and we were talking and hanging out in their living room. It was nice out, and as we were sitting there I heard what I thought was the heating furnace kick on. I asked her why she had the heat on and she told me quite deadpan..."oh, that isn't the heater....they are burning a body" I really didn't know what to think. Worse part was that the room where the body was being burned was literally right next to the living room. It was so surreal. |

"oh, it's not the heat. they're just burning another body.. can you pass the mashed potatos please?" |

| There really isn't to much to the story. The rest of the evening I just couldn't get over how we were having a normal conversation and there is this body being burned in the next room. I do remember her bring out some food from the kitchen and asked her "are these left overs?"(gross I know..I am sorry). Then all of a sudden I just started laughing and couldn't stop, because it was all so fucking wierd! |
