Marcus-Lycus rated 8 months ago- From the page: "As an Atheist and a supporter of scientific advancement for the good of my species and the improvement of life, I have bequeathed my body to the medical college. They will use it for one of two things: medical student training or experimental medical procedures. They collect my body at their own expense, and they will dispose of its sliced up, formalin-smelling remains when they are done with it. Hopefully it will have helped science in a small way to further benefit humankind."

- I never really thought about this stuff, but it is really something that needs to be thought about. Not just by atheists like myself but by everyone who is planning on dying at some point, which is... wait for it... everyone! From the page: "Dying in America is a complex and distasteful process for most American families and often a taboo subject. As Timothy Leary puts it: "Most human beings are taught to face death, like life, as victims - helpless, fearful, resigned. We're schooled and counseled - programmed to act out a life of scripts based on our worst tendencies toward fear and self-doubt....Throughout history 'fear of dying' has been used by priests, police, politicians, and physicians to undermine individualistic thinking, to increase our dependence on authority and to glorify victimization."
