Thread: The ultimate sticky topic

Tweet

This topic/question could get sticky real quick so just remember its all in good fun. Maybe bad taste but good fun.

Since your on this website, I'm guessing you try to keep Halloween in your heart all the year long like Scrooge did Christmas at the end of "A Christmas Carol". I'm also guessing that your signifigant other shares your intrest although it may be to a lesser degree.

The question is this: If you could afford it upon your passing, would you become an organ doner, have the rest of your body striped to the bone, your skeleton wired back together and given back to your spouse for you to become the ultimate Halloween prop.

In order to limit to much of a "moral debate", you may want to limit your answer to "YES" or "NO" and a few words on why or why not.

Looking forward to the replies.

I have always said I wanted this done! I doubt the laws would allow it tho' so instead I am to be cremated and added to cement and turned into a gargoyle statue. Not fair that we can do whatever we want to with ashes but not with our bodies...after any biohazard threat passes of course...lol!

YES I would if my spouse was as morbid as I! I'm scheduled to be cremated and scattered over our home's flowerbed with 1st half then the 2nd half in my wifes grave with her. But I will definitely and happily donate my organs to Science! If me giving up something in the afterlife for the possiblities/chances of saving anothers life... Count me in! I mean the creepies and the crawlies will have more to munch on 6ft below if not ya know...

I'm pretty sure my spouse would be creeped out and disgusted at the thought of hanging up my skeleton, even if he would hang up someone else's. But he's never really decorated for Halloween anyway. Plus I'm pretty selfish with my body and already have post-mortem plans for it. Also, I would feel pretty disrespected if my skeleton was stuffed into a closet or attic for the rest of the year and only appreciated at Halloween time. So no, I wouldn't do this. But it's an interesting idea and I totally support anyone who would want to do it, and whose spouse would handle it well. (And I hope I'm not the only person who started laughing upon reading this question.)
