What are you going to do with your body after you die?

Seeking participants for a documentary about terminally ill people who want to do something unusual with their body after they die - donation to medical science, donation to a forensic pathology "body farm", or being plastinated in Gunther von Haagens "Body Worlds" exhibition.
My name is Jason Lapeyre and I'm a feature filmmaker. I'm working on a new project and I'm hoping to use Metafilter to help find participants. It's a documentary about terminally ill people who want to donate their body after death - whether to medical science, or to a forensic pathology "body farm", or to be plastinated in a "Body Worlds"-style exhibition. I'm producing and co-writing the film. It will be directed by Jovanka Vuckovic and released through Drafthouse Films.
By no means is our film intended to be exploitive. It will be a sensitive meditation on death, dying, and our relationship with our bodies.
As you might imagine, finding participants for the film is one of our greatest challenges. We're looking for people who are actively grappling with the issue of death and their relationship with their body, especially after they pass away. If this describes you or someone you know who may be interested in speaking with us, please message me or reach out at mementomoridoc@gmail.com with a brief description of your situation and why you have chosen this unconventional path.
Thank you.
