Sometime in the future there's going to be a population problem...

Enter China.

Only one child per couple . . .and most of them want male offspring still.

Then again, China's population is falling (because of this) . . . it used to account for 1/3rd of the world population and it's not even the lasrgest land mass.

Hopefully someone will have had my organs in a transplant well before then

Ditto.

They can use my blood for whatever they want to as well. Take my brain and use it for research and use whatever they want from my dead body to aid another person have a better quality of life.

No point taking to the ground and letting the worms & maggots have a buffet when there's people out there needing new organs etc to make their quality of life better.

when i die, i want to be cremated

then have my ashes mixed in to some flour, and made into bread. That means everyone can bite me at the funeral dinner

Errrrrr... Read the one after

It's now impossible for death to be classed as "of old age" in America.


EDIT: The one that got me was the last one.
100 Billion humans have died EVER, and the current population is 6.7% of that number. That's massive - really shows how serious the population growth has been!
In other words, the same number of humans that have died in the last quarter of a million years are predicted to die within the next 800 years.

whoops that should teach me not to go on hexus the minute i wake up!
