The company Bayer, had a commercial here in america not too many years ago that
implied taking thier product would save your life in the event of a heart attack.
Yes, aspirin CAN help... but I felt that commercial eluded to the imortal fantasy people have .

Some day we are going to die.....all the pilfered bones and organs and face lifts and botox and stuff isn't gonna stop it, nor is eating macrobiotic food and taking megavitamins, torturing and slaughtering endangered animals, affirmations, positive thinking and all the rest of it.
here here.
I have always been of the idea that, if you need my organs.. when I die... have 'em. My heart doesnt contain
me. Nor did my lungs, bones, skin, eyes.. etc.
At the time of death , all the body's job, so to speak, is to decompose.
Preservation, embalming, freezing and such aint gonna stop that either.
After someone has died, the body is meaningless.
Some people have a morbid facination with death that triggers a strange plane of denial.
Frankly, we will never know anything of death in my opinion. Simply because noone has lived to tell about it.
