I'm in the minority then.

Doesn't really bother me, though I can understand where Kyuu's coming from. If it were an open casket funeral, then you'd hardly want a body in there missing chunks here and there. But I suppose if you were an organ donor, you could opt for a cremation and make sure your close relatives knew what to do on the occasion of your death.

I'd be a little uncomfortable with the brain though. Just the thought of 'me' being used in science. Seems kind of weird. Though I know it's ridiculous to think it's anything more than physical matter and energy.
