Junkyard Dawg

If there is any part of my body that can be salvaged, I want it to be like one big fat junk yard...people who need the part can come n' get 'er. I am Mormon like Suvi and members of the LDS church believe in a literal resurrection and the restoration of our physical bodies in a perfected state when Christ returns to the earth. Someone once told me that mormons shouldn't do organ donation because then everything would be wild and crazy during the resurrection. But I like to imagine the comraderie that will necessarily errupt...my pristine liver flying through the air to find me and the second owner waving amicably with a mouthed "thanks" from their own whirlwind of body part restoration. My new friends and I all walking arm in perfectly restored arm as we contemplate the silliness of that whole "imperfect body" business during the first "phase". My funeral will necessarily be closed casket. THe End.

you are adorable. i love the idea of your liver flying through the air, and lending body parts out to others. If God can create us from dust, he can most certainly pull us back together.
