6. I'm strange -- I *want* mine to be mistreated, but for scientific reasons.

I plan to donate my body, if at all possible, to one of the forensic research facilities that trains students in crime scene investigation/dating remains.

My grandfather died under an assumed name, and I only reconnected with my paternal brother and sister because she was recovered after a "Silver Alert" -- the cause of the missing and the unidentified is very important to me.

So I'm okay with being left in the woods, or if they required it, being dismembered.

But STILL -- when a person says "medical research", they generally think of teaching new med students. NOT the forensic stuff I'm interested in, which should require a very different consent form.
