I studied in medical school, dissected a few human bodies.

What I can tell you is this, there were other students that would mock the corpse. They would cut off sexual organs and play with them. There were students who respected the bodies, and the others that didn't. But I'll never forget the careless nature in which people would casually desecrate someones remains.

My sister goes to a medical school and they do a lot of studying with real bodies but they have extremely strict rules and its one of the places where if you do something wrong you could be expelled immediately.

I plan for my body to be donated to my uni's medical school.

A. So I can help train the next generation of med students

B. Due to anal leakage I get to shit on my uni one last time.

C. I have an idea for a prank that will only work if I am dissected.
