I was amazed by the price. I didn't look at any others.

I hope so.
It wouldn't be hard to make an app that required one to just tap
something every 6, 12, 24, 48 hours or it sends out a message, Come and
get my body. It could probably even use the volume control to show
you're alive, so you wouldn't have to open the app.

I hope so. Corneas are good for a day or two iirc. Skin maybe. IIUC
they still need a lot of skin. They're working on artificial skin** but
as of 2 years ago, it wasn't as good as real.
**Not for permanent use, only for recovery from burns and maybe other
problems.
I've been an prospective organ donor for 51 years. Sometimes I think
it's the main thing that keeps me alive, becaue I should be so lucky to
actually be able to donate something. They already no longer want my
bone marrow because they say I'm too old, even though my bone marrow
seems to work for me. (For eample,red blood cells only live 120 days,
and it's been several times that long since they told me they don't want
my marrow anymore, so it must have made several bodies' worth of RBCs
since then. "[White blood cells] have a short life -- only two to three
days -- so your body constantly makes more"
