I'm thinking of not making any will. Let the vultures sort it out themselves

Can you give blood and get it stored for your own use ??

I know that you can get blood taken before major planned surgery, just in case.

Check out http://www.nzblood.co.nz for the answer to your other questions, and many more. But from me

Anyone know if a tattoo stating donation intentions and medical stat's would be legal and binding. Can't tell my family. The only family I got is morally opposed to my decision.

Mum thinks I ought to be buried whole, preferably without a autopsy she's opposed to that too. She used to be a nurse but still doesn't know any better.

My partner knows my wishes but my mum can be a bit of a bully.

BigDog, don't think the tattoo thing would work. If you really want it sorted then you need a legal doco......they've got no record of your state of mind at the time you had the tattoo done, or whether you've changed your mind since.

like many I have potentially Mad cow desease ?
actually I have doner on my licence and as for my wife well her attitude is I'll have your pension and insurance and they can have all your bits! like some have hardly been used like your brain and stuff I reckon the old boy is the most under utilised but that another story.
but as for liver and kindeys well I dont think they would exactly be bargain material and as for hair well I have heaps just not in the wanted places
so I dont care what they do with me when I dead my ashes will be in an ern that will be used for a receptical for otherthings as they see fit.
If reincarnation is a happening thing I will come back as a traffic cop anyway or a fly same diff whatever.
if anyone wants any of my parts now make an offer I have two of most things in working order. funny how you only get one tounge nose and penis? why is that?

[Slim]

I've just fired off an e-mail to my mother, sister & brother telling them my wishes, and left a message for my father to call me too.

Shall be interesting to see the response.

What your mother never gave you the line about "you have two ears for listening and one mouth for talking so you can listen twice as much as you talk"?

As to penises ... I only have one and that has got me in enough trouble!

I wonder if you ucan get your tattoos grafted off and made into a lampshade when you die?? ... something to leave the kids eh?... an heirloom of sorts.

I think I'll put it in my will .

[Jackrat]

Yeah I read a story about a guy that did that,his family skined him after death an had em, framed.Hitler was supposed to be pretty good at it too,I don,t think his subjects had much say in it but.

I have seen framed tattoos in FHM Magazine and Ed Gein used to make lampshades table cloths etc out of his victims so while it may be a little morbid it is possible.
