I got my California driver's license in the mail yesterday. With it came a card upon which I can state whether or not I wish to donate my body to science in the event that I die. I said yes - they can have any organs, tissues, or parts that are recoverable, for use either as transplants or for medical research.

Anyway, part of the form reminded me to "discuss my decision with affected parties". So ... I don't know how many of you would consider yourself "affected parties", but hey, I consider public posts in this journal to be good records of my opinions. I suppose I'll tell my parents when next we talk on the phone.

Once I'm dead, I don't care what they do with the remains. The corpse isn't me. So if medical students end up learning Gross Anatomy from my body, that's fine.

The important thing is a wake. That's my real concern. Big party. Lots of reminiscing. Plenty to drink.

I guess it's being reared as a preacher's daughter, and being a nurse for so long; I've gotten such a large thing about respect and honor. Not that that is a bad thing.

I understand your feeling about it, too. I'm not quite that cavalier about my body yet, though ;-)

Hey, I want to have a party *now*!

party time!
