Andrew Gates often comments on various posts of mine. Here he adds his support to Andi?s earlier thoughts in his own sometimes satirical way.
?I would have to agree with Andi on this one. A dead person no longer needs the metals in their body. If you believe in an afterlife and souls, then you probably believe that the soul leaves the body after death and goes to party it up in heaven. Thereby leaving the body as nothing but a rotting bit of flesh. I say get what you can out of it. If you dont believe in those notions of the afterlife, then you probably believe that after death, conscious existance ceases. In that case, you wont miss the metals in your body either. If I were to decide cremation (im donating my body, kinda morbid to think about, but still), then I would want as much good to come from my body as it could yield. As it sits now, though, donating my body to be used for search and rescue training seems like the most utilitarian use of my mass of rotting flesh after my death.?
My thanks to Andrew for adding to the post and the discussion thereof!

P.S. As for my own thoughts, they are quite similar to my commentators. I was more fascinated by the novelty of it and the fact that what sounded more than a little hare-brained turned out to be quite profitable.
