There will be no funeral for Mr Peter Yu when he dies. Instead, his body will be preserved, cut up and probed by medical students.
The 57-year-old donated his body to science more than 30 years ago. He said it is 'better to be a cadaver than rot in a coffin'.
Mr Yu only recently told his two children, who are in their 20s, of his decision. They did not object, he said.
Said the systems analyst: 'But other people were shocked to hear that I did this. To me, when you die, the body doesn't belong to you any more. So if the body can be used for something good, just use it.'
