I am keeping skin off my toes, a bloodstained plaster and several teeth of mine for family historians of the..

Question

future?

Would you say this is vile or not? ;-)

Would you appreciate it if you had similar items from your great granddad in your family history collection?

Answer 1

Marvellous idea, though I would certainly look into some preservation methods for your body parts.

Answer 2

Historians, family or not, will have everything they could possibly hope for in the form of dental/medical/work records and all the stuff that the government and financial institutions hold on you, and I certainly would NOT want that sort of rubbish left by MY forbears. It should all have been either burned or buried with them upon their death.

Answer 3

That is disgusting.

Answer 4

Eww.

I'm sure they'll be very interested in your gross stuff.

Answer 5

In no way, no how would I appreicate the things that you mentioned.  Not at all.

Perhaps you could do a lock of hair (from your head of course - no toes or anything else vile like that).

If I were keeping something for my descendants, I would give them something that was very dear to me (like a book I am filling in regarding family history or photos where they can see my teeth so they don't have to hold them in their hand and think what the heck was wrong with me).  I would also like to pass on my wedding dress and my great grandmother's wedding dress.  

Under no circumstances would I leave pieces of my body.

Answer 6

Thats gross and unnecessary.

Answer 7

i would like all that!

well ok, maybe not.

but it is certainly quite interesting to see..human old stuff.

good luck with your collection!

xxxxxx

Answer 8

Yeah definitely vile.  I think I would want photos...maybe a lock of hair...teeth, blood, toenails????  I think you want to clone yourself in the future because you think it might be more available then.

Answer 9

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww vile

and as you're probably not an actual scientist, useless

Answer 10

Erm...a few words on paper, a hand or footprint, photos....that would do.  Are you hoping they clone you and thats why you want to leave your DNA?

Answer 11

Nail clippings and a bogey on a kleenex.

Answer 12

thats nicee

rottenn toenails

hehe yellow teeth

dont forget to brush them

Answer 13

That's sick.

If someone left that to me I think I'd burn it.

I'm going to leave as much detail as I can about my family history once I've amassed it all and probably a few precious family peices like photos and jewellery.

Please don't leave your family peices of your flesh......
