I was under the impression that we will be resurrected as flesh and bone rather than flesh and blood.

There is a cemetery in my hometown that has the most beautiful view of the mountains to the east. I was taught as a child, that on resurrection morning that all buried people in the cemetery would rise from the grave to greet the lord as he comes from the East. It is a nice and comforting thought, but I don’t believe that we pick up the decomposed body in the ground. We will be resurrected from the dead and appear in a body of flesh and blood. Even those who’s bodies were lost and not preserved in a casket will have bodies of flesh and blood, even though their original body has decomposed and returned to the simple elements and may be in part of tree or perhaps in a living bird. No elements are lost on the earth. They simply transform into new forms of life. So I see no reason why a person cannot be cremated and their ashes scattered. The lord will know where the elements are. There is no reason not to donated your body to science to advance the knowledge of easing suffering and curing disease. Our bodies will be restored no matter where those elements have been used. This is a subject that too many worry about. It is just wasted energy to worry about this subject.

Comments on: Is there an official position on donating one’s body to science?
