Consider donating your body to science? Yes? No? Why/why not?

They are welcome to it if they can use 63 year old body parts..

Organ donor first, then if science wants to study what's left, go for it.

They can have the organs...dunno about the rest...

I'm a organ donor, although I doubt my used parts would be of much use (to many burnt offerings in this particular temple).  I have also donated my body to science and don't really care what it's used for.  My body is just the housing for my persona - when the persona is gone the rest is just trash.

Yup, already got it set up.
