Interesting little thought ...
I've decided to dedicate my body to medical school, and just before I die, I'm going to swallow a little plastic toy. That way, the medical student who cuts me open will get a nice surprise. I just hope the other medical students aren't sad because they didn't get a toy with their cadaver, too. "Ruminations" from topfive.com
2 Questions:-
1 Would you dedicate your body to medical science? and
2 What would you swallow just before dying for your student to find?
1. Yes.
2. A small shark/dogfish and a compressed coke can.
I think it would be far cooler to fall into a bog, at the point of death, leaving my remains to be found many years from now.

I am in school to become an occupational therapist and I took gross anatomy and had the 'pleasure' of disecting a cadaver. We did not cut open the stomach or intestines though. However your body passes a lot of stuff after you die, so your toy might not even be in there anymore...
But yes I would donate my body, without the toy...:)
Hey, toy in cadaver like plastic toy in cracker jacks? What next will the medical profession dream up to get new student enrolees?

the soft-centres always get chosen first right ?

You can achieve the creamy middle by swallowing a tub of cool whip.
I don't mind dying... I just don't want to be around when it happens.

The only bad thing about the cool whip is that it will cause cavities.

If you are an organ donor and wind up in critical condition, the hospital will put salvaging your body parts ahead of saving your life.
I suppose that's okay if they knew of a particular patient who'd be likely to live because of your gift.
Otherwise, it's kinda unfair.
I have thought about being an organ donor, though. Now about my whole body....
I dunno.
Maybe when I am old and wrinkled I will sign that waiver. Not just yet.

Leave your body to science? Can I use it untill then?
Perhaps I should swallow a Jack n the Box. Man that would scare the shit out of them wouldnt it. Like something out of Allien!
1. Yes I would...
2. Well since I hope I die while having sex (don't we ALL, really???)...what do you think I will be swallowing????
