How would you like to have your body handled after you die?, no, no im not emo Options

I predict that being cremated will be the most popular answer. How would you like someone accidentally digging up your bones years after you're buried?

organ donor. if your organs are viable and you're dead so you don't need them, why incinerate them or let them rot in the ground? there are people on the organ donor list and a transplant would save their lives. organs are a terrible thing to waste.

there's a lot of controversy behind organ donation. a lot of people say it's against their religious beliefs, or they're scared their body will be disfigured afterwards at the funeral, if you take out tissues/cornea too, like an eye or skin, for example. then there's also a fear that if you chose to donate your vital organs, you won't be given full efforts from doctors to save you from dying at the end of your life... so that they can maximize chances of taking the organs. others believe you might still be alive when the procedure actually takes place, since your heart can spontaneously begin to beat again after it has stopped and because some doctors will only wait 2-3 minutes after your heart stops to begin taking the organ.

all the same, i agree with you, organs are a terrible thing to waste. i'd be willing to donate mine as long as it wasn't really an external thing like eyes or skin... and as long as i was really, really, REALLY dead by the time organ donation started.

Wtf is really really dead? You're either dead or you're not. They're not going to rip organs out of your body if you still have a chance of living.

I think I want a combination of organ donation and cremtation as well. Anyway, burials don't appeal as much either. I wouldn't want anyone mourning after my death or feeling sad every time they visit the tombstone and cemetary.
