    I’m into the idea of sky burial like in Asia. Let the birds eat me.

    Probably not legal here in the U.S. though.

      that’s why i like the body farm idea. they leave your corpse out in the elements and let nature take its course so forensics students can study it.

        I like that idea too, but how do you guarantee your corpse goes to a body farm? Honest question.

          I have the same question, especially since the wishes of people who donate their bodies to this-or-that don’t seem to be particularly respected per the article.

            This doesn’t provide an answer, but seems relevant. John Oliver did a piece on the loose nature of “donating my body to science” and also the issues with the current organ donation system in the US.
