Hi Heath, In the UK I understand that people do not own their own body parts, and so may not be in a position to offer you parts for your project. Your new body may have to come from citizens of more liberal regimes.
I had an acquaintance whose heavily tattooed lower leg had to be amputated after an extended failure to recover from an accident. Before the operation he requested the leg, so he could have it embalmed as a curio. The surgeons refused, and he took legal advice. He was unable to compel the hospital to yield it up, even to a qualified embalmer. In our genetically modified future, of course, human(oid)s may not own their bodies in even more pressing terms - their cellular structures may be the property of the corporation that engineered their genome. They'll be able to work off the debt incurred by being born in just a few decades, at which point they'll be able to live the remainder of their lives as free agents, able to do what they will with their remaining years. All the best, James ===== On 11/05/11 15:11, info wrote: > I have been working on building new lawful identities (data bodies) for > some time now: > > http: //status.irational.org/identity_for_sale/ > http: //status.irational.org/ > > Recently, I have made a new identity, but am seeking a physical body to > bind to.
