I realize that most would not, but I think there would be some who would see it as interesting. I think it's a fascinating topic, though I admit I'm not sure how I would react if I ever did tour one.
I don't want to think about those who would enjoy it a little too much! lol
For more info, if you don't know what one is, our old friend Wikipedia can share some:

I've been to the best one in the world at the University of Tennessee. And when I die that's exactly where this old corpse is headed (after they get my organs out).
And no, I don't enjoy it "a little too much". I enjoy it for its ingenuity and scientific aspects and the breakthroughs they have made in forensic science.

Yes, Abby I really would. I heard about the body farm several years ago. I think about donating my remains to one. I realize it's not every-ones cup of tea but the learning that takes place there is invaluable. My mother didn't think such a place actually existed until she saw it on Court TV.

Body farm? Not my cup of tea for a casual visit. But I'm glad they exist because they provide invaluable assistance for forensic investigation. Since they help crimefighters do their job, I'm all for them.
One of the body farm managers (I think the one at Knoxville) actually has in his will that when he dies, his body is to be used on the farm to serve as a decomposition example.
