<p>When my son (who is a science freak) was about 6 he saw a skeleton at school (he loved it) and asked me, “Where’d they get the skeleton; did they just go to a graveyard & dig it up?” I told him that the person “probably decided to give his body to science.” He said, “How could he do that if he was dead?” So I explained about living wills, etc. After thinking it over for a while, he said, very politely-- “Mom, when you die could I please have your skeleton?”</p>
