The Body Farm... will you be sent there?

I know that some people are organ donors, some don't want their body touched after death... some will be cremated and some will be buried.
Are any of you going to a Body Farm?

From Wiki:
A body farm is a research facility where human decomposition can be studied in a variety of settings. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the decomposition process, permitting the development of techniques for extracting information (such as the timing and circumstances of death) from human remains. Body farm research is particularly important within forensic anthropology and related disciplines, and has applications in the fields of law enforcement and forensic science. Five such facilities exist in the United States, with the research facility operated by Texas State University at Freeman Ranch being the largest at seven acres.

Yes, No?
Now... if you are going to Google it, graphic photos WILL show up on the page that just gives you links. So be warned.

If you say no, then what is going to happen to you when you die?

I would totally have my body donated to science. However honestly after the organ donation I will leave it up to my kids. It is them who will be sad and mourning, it will be up to them to do what helps them cope the best. It doesnt matter what happens to my body after I die.

I don't want to be buried. I'm an organ donor, and the remainder of my remains (lol) will be either donated to science or cremated. Did you know a cremated corpse is called "cremains"? Fascinating fun facts you learn when your husband's a mortician's apprentice.

Hell no.

I'm an organ donor and then I'll be cremated like the rest of my family.

I'm an organ donor, and have thought about donating my body to science after dying. There's no need for a body after death, in my opinion. I believe that the soul leaves the body, so why not give your flesh to help others?

Now, I do still want a grave stone. A little counter-intuitive, but it would be more for my family than for myself. I think people need to have somewhere to visit, to believe and have that comfort, even if I don't believe it myself.

I am an organ donor. I honestly, don't care what happens after I die. I am dead. I will never know. I told DH to donate it to someone or cremate me. I don't really care.

I don't care what happens with my body after.

I want to donate it to science, so if I am a cadaver or at a body farm doesn't make a difference to me.

I am also an organ donor, so if I died now that would be what would happen.

Eventually I want to sign all the forms and make it official, I just don't know how to go about it.

My cousin completed the process to have his body donated to a university in Philly I believe. He could not choose what organs or parts to donate but he could choose what not to donate. I could never see myself rotting in a body farm even though it's for science. I do want to be cremated and split up amongst My children.

After watching bones and seeing the episode that show cased a body farm hell no lol

I want to be buried and my body left undefiled. As far as organ donation I cannot because of being diabetic they won’t allow me to other wise I would.

Quoting Nancy Botwin:" My cousin completed the process to have his body donated to a university in Philly I believe. He could ... [snip!] ... see myself rotting in a body farm even though it's for science. I do want to be cremated and split up amongst My children."

Maybe it's just me, but I would never want my parent's ashes.

I am an organ donor, so maybe. I'm leaving it up to my family on how they want to uh..."dispose" of me.

Dude you smell like anatomy lab!~

I'd rather my body not rot in the woods somewhere while scientist probe and decipher how long it takes the maggots to eat my flesh. The same reason why I refuse to be burried. My organs will be donated and I will be cremated.

Quoting MommyToWesley:" Maybe it's just me, but I would never want my parent's ashes."

To each their own right. We keep all our dead pets in the China cabinet lol. I never want to be buried in the ground.

See... I wouldn't want my kids/grandkids to stumble upon some graphic photo of my body at the Body Farm. It would ruin any good memory that I left behind. They take a lot of photos there, videos as well. That turns me off.
