Clog typed >>> Hi y'all - I support abolishing laws that give religious views priority over science...<<<
I agree with Clog. (surprise?) I wrote up, had notarize, a paper of "last wishes" and presented each family member with a copy. I read them aloud and we discussed each point. One of the things I made clear was that I do not want any funeral home, body disposal industry, or religious institutuion or it's assigns to come near my body. I also stated that my nonbelief supersedes their belief. I will not bore you with the legal wording. I did have to do some research, though, to make it as binding as possible. It helps if you get immediate family and good friends to know your wishes ahead of time. My body is going to the "body farm" in Knoxville TN for educational purposes. http://web.utk.edu/~anthrop/FACdonation.html stemcell On Oct 19, 9:52 pm, Clogtowner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi y'all - I support abolishing laws that give religious views > priority over science and the public good. > > On Oct 19, 3:37 pm, ornamentalmind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > No, I didn't miss the point of the article and am guessing that, since > > you posted it and based on the few words you have said about it, you > > would support such law(s) taking away family and/or individual > > autonomy when it comes to the body after death. > > IF this is not correct, then I do stand corrected. > > > On Oct 19, 1:19 pm, Clogtowner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi y'all - you seem to have missed the point of the article. > > > Autopsies, which have a genuine scientific purpose, should not be > > > prevented on religious grounds. > > > > 18, 4:26 pm, ornamentalmind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > My personal wish is to not be touched for 3 days and have specific > > > > rituals practiced over and on my body.
