consider this

"Anatomical dissection gives the
human mind an opportunity to
compare the dead with the living,
things severed with things intact,
things destroyed with things
evolving, and opens up the
profoundness of nature to us more
than any other endeavor or
consideration."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
German Poet


i like this. especially the line "things severed with things intact." this quote was used at the Body Worlds exhibit. it's also on the postcard you can fill out to find out more on being a body donor for plastination.

but i don't think i will give my body to this science.
