I mean after you were dead of > course. Remember Solient Green ( "It's people.") You mean after I was killed for it? Once I'm dead, I do hope my body and its parts are put to good use. As a living human being, I am not to be slaughtered for that purpose while alive. And even you, though you don't qualify as a living human being (well, maybe by some people's very liberal definition...), I wouldn't have the right to slaughter you for that purpose either. (Besides, in your case, Ken, the only kind of soap we'd get is that gag soap that makes you dirty when you use it...) > How about a lunch counter outside the state prison serving human cutlets after > an death sentence is carried out? It's only meat, right? Yumm. With stuffed arndtichokes. This is an argument? Or a spectacle? Human beings are alive. Living organisms of OUR species, whose rights we respect. Fetuses (funny you forgot to bring them up) are not. > I find it mildly amusing that there are some otherwise human people on the net > who can see no reason to respect the dead body of a human being. "It's just > meat.", "Take mine, I'm done with it." Or of a cow. Or a duck. My god, we eat those things as food!!! First, Night of the Living Dead. Then, Dawn of the Dead. Then, Moment by Moment. Now, RESTAURANTS OF THE LIVING!!!! See live human beings eating dead animal flesh!!!! "This looks like you took some clams, killed them, and poured wine over them!!!" And what do we do with human bodies? Well, once we're "done with it", why not ensure that other human beings may get some use from it. What's wrong with that? Are you taking rabblerousing lessons from Gary Samuelson? > Say . . . they use body parts in operations, don't they??? See . . . it must > be the same thing Stanley. Yeah, once I'm dead I hope my body parts get used in some useful way. I think perhaps Ken is just jealous because no human being would ever want his body parts. > Why not use your mother/father/child for fertilizer in the old garden instead > of paying all that money for a fancy funeral. Gee, can't think of a reason > why not . . . can you? It may be against THEIR wishes is one reason. I don't intend my loved ones to spend money on such rituals when there are more useful alternatives. Perhaps you and your loved one (probably one in the same) have some different arrangement. > Can the New Dark Ages be far away??? Not with people like Ken out there dredging up the old ones...
