When a person chooses to donate their body when they die, there are many uses for it. Interestingly, "donated skin that isn't used for, say, grafting onto burn victims may be processed and used cosmetically to plump up wrinkles and aggrandize penises."* Not exactly what I had in mind when thinking about donating my body to science ;)
