Reality warning!
Please donate your body to Science.
That actually turns me off donating my body to science. I'll be an organ donor and if my body was going to be used to contribute to meaningful research that might help others I might be more inclined. But that seems like a horrific way to treat someone's remains, even if it is moderately useful for forensic science.

Indeed, and for myself I will go up in flames an ash than be buried in the dirt to be eaten by all sorts of bugs etc. stuff laying down there for years rotting just to have bones remain.That actually turns me off donating my body to science.

I heard about this one a few years back. I think this would still be preferable to getting left to rot in the open.This is the best donated to science story I've read about - http://thescienceexplorer.com/brain-and-body/dead-body-sliced-5000-times-create-virtual-human
Scientists created the most detailed reconstruction of the human body ever made by using ultrathin slices of cadavers.
Trigger warning: if you just ate, we don’t recommend reading any further.
Thousands of people donate their bodies to science each year, and most are used for anatomic studies at medical schools. However, a man and woman who donated their bodies to science decades ago probably never imagined how their bodies would end up being used. The project, which sounds like it came straight out of a sci-fi horror film, entailed carving each of their bodies into thousands of thin slices.
The Visible Human Project took on the task of creating the world’s most detailed digital body by documenting a comprehensive collection of cross-sectional images. The male’s frozen cadaver was dissected into 1-mm-thick slices, and the woman’s even thinner — just one-third of a millimeter. With these detailed images, the scientists created a 3D “human phantom” that will help accomplish VHP’s goal of transforming medical education.
As in my above post, this is preferable to being left out to see how the insects and weather affect decomposition. Donations that might contribute to curing disease or syndromes are a good thing. But the video with cadavers exposed seems a bit excessive. It mentioned 55 bodies currently at various levels of decomposition when the video was made. You would think that 10 or so would paint a pretty clear picture.These are the options you have in donating your body in Sydney.
I'm also donating my brain to a brain bank for Parkinsons research in the hope that it will contribute one day to a cure for future sufferers.

Humans are a fucking cancer. Fucking vermin. The most selfish, destructive animal on earth. I respect animals more than humans (except innocent humans)https://www.news.com.au/technology/...n/news-story/b74a4e2852bc9fe4d1c6e3396be6d1bf
Scientists who discovered a new marine animal, in one of the deepest places on earth, were so concerned at finding plastic in its stomach they named it Eurythenes plasticus.
They chose this name to highlight that plastic pollution is now so prevalent that even a new species of amphipod living nearly 7km below sea level has ingested plastic.
A team from England’s Newcastle University, led by Dr Alan Jamieson, found the shrimp-like crustacean in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench between Japan and the Philippines and below the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Their research – which names the species – was supported by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and published today in the renowned scientific journal Zootaxa.
Dr Jamieson said they called the amphipod Eurythenes plasticus “because sadly that’s one of the most conspicuous things we found on the species, and I think we need to get that down in the taxonomic record”.
Agent Smith : I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
My son and I were having a similar conversation the other day while viewing the two fat chicks fighting over toot paper and we can to the realisation that Thanos was right, if left unchecked life will eventually destroy itself.Humans are a fucking cancer.

Actually calling them sheep is an insult to sheep. Sheep haven't got the capacity to be evil.
Maybe we made it as far as we can go and now we are going backwards. Some people make me feel that way anyhow lol.With the ever increasing amount of dumb fucks, does anyone still believe in evolution? Lol
