Don't be ridiculous. You can be charitable and save money. They're not mutually exclusive, Dlish.
Yeah, I'm donating my body to science. I don't believe in funerals, burial, or any of that superstitious bullshit.
I also don't believe that I should work my whole life to pay for a retirement home and a fancy Tupperware for my corpse.
Our current life-to-death system leaves little room to accumulate wealth in a family. Fight the system: don't buy into it.
We'll see how that works out for me in the end. There isn't a lot of dignity left in modern life... but there can be in death.

It's either that or the steak-robe+baseball-bat-on-Grizzly thing I talked about in the other thread. Yessir.
