ISN’T HE THE CUTEST LITTLE CALF EVER? HE IS GROWING LIKE A WEED AND BEGINNING TO ACT LIKE A ADULT BULL
Tuesday, July 27, 2021 Sunny Breezy Hot 90 degrees 3:57 p.m. The dog days of summer? No Dogs!
As I have said before, things are a bit different back here. They have had, on the news, a gentleman telling about the body farm and that he needs bodies. He is a professor at one of the Universities and he teaches his students about the human body and how to tell what they die of and age and all sorts of other vital information. As I understand it, a person can will their body to science for such reasons as this. Also there are hundreds of small, family cemeteries in the South who no longer have family to tend to them. I understand that if the owner of the property that the cemetery is located on can be located, they will ask to have it donated to the school. I also understand that the body farm here has to accept you as a potential candidate at your passing.
At first I thought this was a horrible idea. But, as I thought about it and discussed it with Tina and a couple others, it isn’t such a bad idea. Once you have passed on, your spirit or soul is no longer in that body. the body is either burned or buried under six feet of soil, in a box or coffin. The friends and family can visit a grave and talk to a marker.
Most now are having a Memorial Service instead of a full funeral. The cost of a funeral is extreme and being cremated is less expensive, but still expensive. The only one profiting from either of them is the mortuary personnel. If the body is left to science, and can be of use for teaching students, or scientists about different illnesses, diseases, or in case of a crime, help to catch the person responsible, why not? The family saves money, the world has another chance of finding a cure for some disease, a murderer gets caught and there is good bestowed by the deceased. From Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust. From being alive to saving a life. Just a thought!
Have a wonderful rest of your day. Fill it with positive, healthful, safe, cheerful, and productiveness.
