Not many people spend time thinking about their deaths, but Dina Paige has. She's made plans to put her body on display for the education of the world through the Body Worlds travelling science exhibits.
Paige is the first transgendered person to donate her body to the program, which preserves bodies through a process called "plastination" and puts them on display in cities around the world.

Plastination.... (shudders)
I haven't been to see Body Worlds, and I have no bad word for those who donate their bodies, but the idea of having my body turned into a piece of plastic gives me the shivers.

I've seen it, and it's educational and all that. I was okay until I got to the baby section. :embarrassed:
