post-mortem solution
genkaku
Northampton, Mass. U.S.A. Veteran
Appeared today in a number of U.S. newspapers in a popular advice column:
DEAR ABBY: My husband is in poor health, and when his time comes, I would like to have him stuffed. It would be comforting to see him sitting in his favorite chair in the living room. That way I'd always know where he is, plus he wouldn't be asking me for another beer all the time. My kids don't like the idea. What about you, Abby? -- DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIF.
DEAR D.H.S.: Grief makes people do strange things. I'm not sure you are thinking this through. Once you are finished grieving, you may meet someone you want to watch a game with and need that chair.

I wonder if dear ol' hubby has gotten wind of her idea.

(all that beer.....)
I wonder if dear ol' hubby is actually in poor health.
Hehe. Another great find this week, genkaku.
Eeeps! Just return me to nature, please. My oldest son wants to be cryofrozen. I told him he better start saving up.
Sounds like a prank.
Of course, some politicians are already stuffed and mounted. (or) If the news is correct some soon will be.
There's some hope on the horizon then....
Dear D. H. S.
Buddhist self mummification of any interest to hubby? Probably not.

The wife is just wanting to put into reality what she had often told him when he had asked her to get him another beer..... "Get stuffed!"
Personally I think it would be a good idea,...Making her dream come true
Creepy.
For myself, it depends. I think a space "burial" would be cool. Might be the only way "I" could get to explore the cosmos.
If technology looks like it might make it, preserve my ass. Not just my ass, but you know.
