64. I'm so sorry about your little baby. 21 years must feel just like yesterday.
But as for the answer to your question, I'm gonna go against my Orthodox Jewish family and will my old, dead corpse to a teaching hospital. If my organs are still healthy, then whomever wants 'em can have 'em. Any good that comes from shuffling off this mortal coil, so be it.

I'm actually an agnostic. I don't know what's on the other side, although I'm doubtful there's some Old Testament Dude waiting to judge me for how I lived my life. What I do know is that my physical bod will no longer contain me, so I have no problem giving it up. At the risk of offending everyone, I think cemeteries are a huge waste of land. (Right up there with Golf courses!) and it's the same human ego that thinks we're so special and deserving that makes us preserve what is long gone. Really, our finite existence calls for us to leave our shells with as little fuss as possible, not build huge shrines to them. (Bring on the flame, I can take it!)
