Greendawn, why do you thing donating your body to science is not part of life saving? Organ transplants are obviously a direct benefit, but science is well served by having cadavars to train interns with as well as understanding how different diseases affect the soma. This all is part of what medicine is about. The wider and deeper the "body" of knowledge, the more it advances in the dicipline of wellness.

Unfortunately, my body would not qualify for organ donation due to the systemic lupus and the organ damage that has already occured, the chronic extremely high inflammation level in the blood etc. However, I find the idea of offering my body to research for the benefit of lupus research or whatever else quite reseanable. I have even thought of allowing some research ( nothing to intolerably invasive) to take place now and to continue as the disease progresses.

In the state my body is right now, I can only donate it to Science Fiction...
