      Ooh that’s a good question. No I don’t think I would. It’s silly really, because organ donation is a really good thing and it saves lives. I’m not religious, I just think in a million trillion years if some archaeologist were to dig up my body I’d want all the pieces to be there! Like I said, very silly!

      Yes! I’m a registered organ donor, and I really believe in the benefits it brings. What’s the use of my kidneys to me when I’m dead? They can take whatever they want!

      Yes – like Wei I am a registered organ donor. I like the idea I could keep being useful even if I was dead.

      No. I’m not comfortable with giving or receiving body parts but I respect other people’s views. I don’t want to be cremated either; it seems like such a waste of all that organic matter! I think I’d go for burial at sea. Either way the worms can have me!
