Are you an organ donor? Would you donate your body to science when you die?

I made sure to be an organ donor at the event of my death. I say when I die, take whatever the hell you need. Take my organs, my eyes, and whatever else you can use. I'm not very religious, so I'm not one who particularly cares to be buried after death. My request for when I die, is for all of my usable organs to be donated, but also, to either be cremated after or the rest of my body to be donated to science.

Would you donate your body to science after death? Or would you rather your family bury you via the traditional means?

Might as well. I won’t be using those organs when I die. 🤷🏾‍♂️ My only concern is whether black people in need of organs are being treated equally. Also I’d rather my heart go to a young person who has yet to live their life than let’s say Dick Cheney who in my opinion was much too old to qualify for a heart and probably used his wealth and power to get it unless there were no other matches.

I plan to donate mine when I die. I already told my family, that when I die, to please donate my organs to those that can use them, and then cremate or bury me. I don't care what happens to my body after death, but I'm sure my parents will want to have me buried, as we already have plots at a cemetery for most of us.

I also kind of like the idea of part of me still living on in another person. In a way I think it's like we're still alive in some way.
