It sounds a lot more satisfying than being pumped full of toxic chemicals and taking up valuable real estate while being left to rot slowly in the ground. Not only is this expensive and bad for the environment, but it seems the ultimate vanity project to me.

I Googled "How do I leave my body to science in Australia" and a surprisingly long list of universities and medical institutions came up.

And it seems I'm not the only one embracing this way of thinking.

Forensic scientists have been overwhelmed by the number of people wanting to donate their corpses to the southern hemisphere's first body farm.

The secret bushland facility on the outskirts of Sydney is being used to study how human bodies decompose. It is the only one outside of the United States.

It was established in early 2016 by Professor Shari Forbes, a forensic scientist from the University of Technology Sydney.

What I want to know is whether this is something you would consider?  I know I am - and I'll be making my intentions clear to my loved ones.

What do you think? Let's discuss!
