My Very Last Wishes

When I'm through with this vessel, this is what I wish to have done.
First, any useful organs of mine must be removed and given to anyone
who may need them to enhance their life or maybe to extend their present one.
Once the above has been honored, this is now what I wish to have done.
The remainder of my remains are to be given to the science of medicine.
Perhaps its study will serve some use in saving the life of someone.
I've come to learn though that with any case of cancer no organ donations can be given
nor can those possibly infected with HIV or any other harmful contagion.
Science also can't use these cadavers either. I'm not really quite sure of their reason.
So if the above does apply when yours truly does die, 
my wishes are to be applied in the following fashion.
My remains are to be given to what is known as a "Death Farm."
They might use my remains to be locked in the trunk of a car,
exposed to soaring temperature in the hot summer sun
and/or to sub zero temperatures once winter has begun.
The data from my remains will greatly help the science of forensics
and may serve helpless victims who may have died like this to their final form of justice,
possibly resulting in the conviction of they who disposed of their victims this way.
If I can bring Justice to these unfortunate people, 
I'd be honored for the small role that I'd play,
but if by chance the death farms don't want me, then this is what I wish to have done.
Dump my earthly remains on Africa's Savannah plains, 
perhaps it might provide the starving wildlife there some very needed nutrition.
If I haven't left behind enough cash for such an expensive depart
then do what you want. Follow your heart.
It doesn't matter anymore. This vessel and I are now through.
What to do with it now is all up to you,...
...and I apologize for laying that responsibility all on you.
