I read in The Guardian that an ant-fur activist has left a provision in her will that her feet be made into umbrella stands.
How it would be implemented....can you have human artifacts lying around? (You can certainly have subhuman artifacts in museums....as soon as they are seen to be human they get repatriated.)
Anyway, I think this is a very good idea and I'm thinking of how I might make this or some similar provision in my will binding.
Any ideas?
My general idea is that I should refuse to pay for the crappy funeral if I can't have my feet so treated, but then the funeral expenses are the first to come out of the estate. You can always leave a bankrupt estate, but then there's no money for the umbrella stands.
