Hacked into millions of pieces and used as throwing instruments on devils night.
Medical science.
Somehow I doubt they'd find much in me but yet still.

I chose medical science but they get so many offers they don`t take them all.
I would like to do something useful with my dead body like be used as fertiliser to make something grow.

| I said cremated and all, maybe someone will spread my ashes over one of my favorite places or over the open water. |

Cremated methinks.

| I put medical science but to be honest, there are few parts of me that are healthy enough to donate so everything else would be cremated. |

Not cremated, because that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Therefore it's not very eco-friendly.

| I wouldn't give up my entire body - just any organs that they can use. When they're done with that, just burn the rest and dump it someplace. I don't want to take up room in a cemetery. |

Take whatever spare parts are needed for transplant or research, burn the rest. Send some of the ashes into space like James Doohan ("Scotty" from Star Trek) did.

I was thinking launched out of a cannon into a concrete wall and someone would photograph the splat.
Someone might even respect my wish to do that, but why would they respect my wishes after I die and not while I am alive? |

Remove any parts that can be used, then get a cheap rowboat, tow it out past the territorial limit, and give me an old-fashioned Viking funeral (well, except for the part where they put my dog on the boat...).
Barring that, go ahead and bury the remains, but make sure the epitaph on the tombstone reads, "GAME OVER - Insert Coin(s) For Credit", and put a charity collection box on the side.

I voted for cremation after my useable body parts were harvested for someone else's posterity.
I really don't care much now and it is my fervent hope I do not care THEN!

Cremated.
But I'll be dead when it happens so I really won't be that bothered. |

For sure cremated and I am an organ donor.....I would let medical science use it if I could pick the research....not making pharmaceuticals richer...they would have to buy it and donate the money to a cat charity.....better yet,feed my organ harvested corpse to the cats and the crows(and any polar bears that might have survived global warming.)
