plans after death

I was watching a tv program recently that was showing people studying to become a doctor. They were using actual bodies that had been donated for that purpose. I'm thinking maybe instead of being buried, I should donate my body for students to learn on. I think it would be a very good thing to do, but a family member didn't like the idea. What do you think? Would you consider donating your body to science?

Hmm... I don't see why not. My body is useless to me for the next life, instead of having my body eaten by a bunch of worms, science can use it all they want. But I don't see how is that going to happen because I am already an organ donor.

I'm not sure, but can't they take your body AFTER the organs have been taken out? I would think that it would still be useful in some ways. Might be worth looking into. Thanks for your response!

I'm very touching with that kind of idea and people who donate his body for other.But that idea is not so populer in my country and my mind.I guess my family won't allow me to do that and I still confuse if "can I do it or not".I know it will help people and good action but... may be someday I can have a better view about this donate.
