Exactly.   It could mean the difference between a satisfied life and one of a person withdrawn because of their injuries.   Burn victims in particular.

it is yukky and shouldn't be allowed

that is just my opinion like anyone can have but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be law

blind libertarianism sucks

How about human dignity for the living, who might just have a more beneficial image of themselves  because of the blessing of donated tissue.

but that is not what is being discussed here

yes medical necessity is one thing

but pure vanity with no life-saving benefit (and in fact quite a few downsides) is another

plus the op is talking about people who have donated their bodies to medical schools for doctors to learn on

i am not convinced they would all be fine with becoming part of some insecure persons bootie or were informed of that possibility

Yes.   thank you for nudging me back into the operational lane.      Yes, the OP is relating to people's vanities and their augmenting their bodies with cadaver flesh.    I am still fine with it.   I think people like myself who want their bonemeat shell to be used don't much care if it is all for "science"/education or to help others with their self-image.   

It would be an interesting poll, wouldn't it, UB?   I would vote for anything goes, but I suppose there might well be cultural/theological and other considerations.   You make good points.

Fat chance that I would let anyone put someone else's fat into my body.  I am perfectly capable of producing my own fat, in fact I am an expert at growing my own.

This guy donated his mum's body to Alzheimer's research.. and she was strapped to a rocket chair and blown up lol.

Certainly better than being an involuntary organ donor in China.  They are taking kids off the streets when walking home to never be seen again.. I hope the CCP rots and falls off the international cliff before I die !

I have split feelings ...

It's treating the human body without any dignity ... both the donor and the insecure recipient.   If it were for medical reasons it would be understandable.  But it's for vanity and it's undignified for children of God to be acting this way.   

However, both the donor and recipient agree to it and no one gets hurt so why not?  As long as the donors estate gets paid.

Like I said ...  I'm split on what to think of this.

I mean, once you sell or donate something, what the recipient does with the thing is really none of our concern.

Unless it's illegal i suppose.

With the kicker being, if you don't want it to happen, don't donate the product or body. 

Personally i think some of the things some "children of God" get up to are far more nefarious.

Take, for instance, the creepy b@stards that want to do ""other"" things to bodies?

Im not quite sure what's wrong with some people.

If i was to guess, i would have to suggest rather a lot.

But in the grand scheme of what people perpetrate towards one another and get up to, this is really not that bad.

Even if it is completely unpalatable or disagreeable to think about.

True.   As long as it's legal and everyone agrees.   So I"m on board with that.

At the same time, the other half of me says it's an undignified way for people to be behaving.  Insecure vain people people being ghouls and feeding off the dead to satisfy their own psychological problems.   Creepy and disrespectful, even if the parties agree to it.

I'm totally split on this.   

But it's a new money making industry so I'm sure it'll take off and be accepted.   Everyone loves a money making venture.    In this world it's all about money.
