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? |
Perhaps, if cyronics is not viable in the near future. If the choice is between burial and donation, then I would choose donation.
