Post-Life Career as Crash-Test Dummy

No problem here, just more Drudge fear-mongering. When you will your body to science, you may find yourself as a crash-test dummy (slow-mo tests here though). My cousin willed her body to science: I hope the research, whatever it was, was fruitful.

Still, I was disturbed last year, when excess (I think it was Tulane Univ.) bodies were used in land-mine research. When I was a work-study student at TERA, in 1974/75, just west of Socorro, NM (NM Tech), they were detonating Claymore land mines next to sheet-metal barriers. I saw what those Claymores can do to sheet metal. Thinking about bodies...Ouch!
