That pregnant lady was my mom... and that's me inside!!

But that's cool, and creepy in a way.  How did they get permission to use some of those bodies?

That's pretty cool. It's too bad that people would actually try to censor this stuff. Bunch of stuck up prudes.

Would I do this to myself? Well, I'm already on the organ registry, so if there was any way to do this and yet allow my organs to go on to help dying people, then sure.

i'll tell you why. what if u had an accident, u were in a comma, and the doctors need a heart for example, so instead of trying to save you they send their energies trying to convince your family to let you go. wtf thats not happening to me! call me close minded or what not, but i wont share my organs. if i die they'll die with me

you know, that's not what really happens. i mean, if they have to kill you to take your organs versus someone who needs a heart dying... the net result is the same.

someone dies.  and besides, they can't just 'let you go'.  euthenasia is illegal, and there'd be intense legal battles before they could even think about it.

yeah but it would be difficult to prove it unless someone in your family is a doctor and can see if the doctor wanted you dead or not

You know that sounds like a good story for ER.

I'd rather be vivisected alive than imprisoned in a coma for years.  I'd be more afraid of being aware and trapped; buried alive in my own corpse and kept here by artificial means.  I already have a Living Will that says pull the plug and dole me out.

You made me think "Night of the Living Will."
