In light of our discussion in class about how the lack of separation between self and body can make people hesitant to become organ donors, I figured I'd post this comic from XKCD that views the body in fairly clinical terms: our body is just an "arrangement" of bones, organs, viscera, etc. The self may imbue this arrangement with something more, but once the arrangement is taken apart, we should allow ourselves to be repurposed, our organs saving lives, our bones supports for spaceships.
