Keeping your Organs...

Or a murder weapon.

Wouldn't that be ironic, brain hemorrhage caused by blunt force trauma from a brain.

''What, you never wanted to have a necklace of teeth? Not human teeth.''

You must admit it would look pretty badass.

"I killed him with my brain!"*

You forgot this◊.

Thread Hopping: Wait, did the world change so much in so few years, or are the States that different from France? When I had my tonsils removed, I found them in a jar on my bedside table when I woke up, and was asked if I wanted to keep them...

What I'm against however, is keeping your still-usable organs after death: You don't need them anymore, and some people do...

I had the same option, I kept my tonsils. But then they were gross and I threw them away like a week later.

... and I'm just now thinking of the possible consequences for that. It seems like a terrible, terrible idea.

I found an article from 2006 about this. I like this line in particular:

I am waiting for a heart transplant, and I was seriously going to ask the surgeon if I can keep the old diseased one (I would like to stress the point - Not Contagious). I also thought that I could send it to space in attached to a balloon and film it. If i promise to give any money made from either 'go fund me' or You Tube ("Man sends own heart into space" should get a few hits) to a charity of their choice. We would have to track the heart to where it landed and then send it to be incinerated, but I checked and there is a Sheffield based company that does this as a business.. my only stumbling block is whether I am legally allowed to do this..

Or you could leave it in San Francisco. :D
