I saw that when it came through my city about 10 years ago.
Disturbingly, afterwards, I learned that the exhibition may have used executed Chinese political prisoners. It still bothers me to this day that I went to see this exhibition.

Didn't see it but wished I had.  If I knew the bodies used were harvested without the owner's permission, I wouldn't like that of course.

I would hope for my body to be harvested for transplant, and the rest cremated.
Is this sig thing on?

Not here in Victoria...

The Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003 provides that burial outside public cemeteries is prohibited.
Under s. 114 of the Act, it is an offence to bury a body in a place other than a public cemetery. This
offence may attract a penalty of 5 years imprisonment.

If Elvis died in Teshi (Ghana), he would have been buried in a guitar coffin. Residents
of this Accran suburb bury their dead in fantasy coffins. The casket often represents
the profession of the deceased. Giant replicas of Coke bottles, fruits or gadgets are
displayed in coffin showrooms.

I have always wanted to be cremated, but lately I have been entertaining the idea of donating my body to science.

But where are you going to donate your hair? Wink  Tongue
