I noticed that very often, tribute pictures are made to individuals who have passed away. Often there's a cross off to one side or something, and the old person's face watermarked on the other, captioned with some fluffy phrase in soft italics. I don't mind that people do that, but I find it very tacky, and don't want my old wrinkled face to be the subject of that silliness.
Hmm, I figure I might donate my body to science. Cheaper than buying a coffin, good for the world. I got the idea from my dad as I remember him in the past stating he'd like to do that. It's a good idea. Of course, I guess it's possible that some loved ones, or perhaps a future wife or something, wouldn't want me to do that, so I'll see how that goes.
Death will be an interesting experience. I'd much prefer to get to choose when to die, however, as opposed to dying of old age, so that I can experience everything I want to. Maybe in the future, we'll be able to cheaply replace organs, or upgrade ourselves with cyborg mechanisms (> 20/20 vision robot eyes, anyone?). I find I'm more afraid of being an old, incapable, halfwit old person, than death itself.
