Would you donate your body to science?

Inspired by the morgue thread, here's a question I pose to you: Would you donate your body to science? This is different from donating your organs to those who need transplants. People who donate their bodies to science are allowing their bodies to be used as cadavers for med students.

I believe this also includes experiments that require a human corpse. I saw an episode of CSI where they came upon a "body farm" where human bodies were placed in various environments (under water, hanging in the air, half-buried, etc.) in order to observe the rates of decomposition and other effects. With this in mind, would you still want to donate your body to science?
