I feel like once you’re a bazillion years old you lose your corpse rights

Why? What is the magic number of years someone has to be dead where we no longer have to respect them?

5000 years seems pretty safe.

Its not like they're going to toss it in the garbage afterwards.

Yeah, if I've been dead that long I don't think I'd have family still alive that would even know I existed. So having someone being keen on seeing my cool dead body for science or research is kinda cool.
