Эволюционный биолог Уильям Гамильтон за 10 лет до смерти выразил желание, чтобы его тело оставили в лесу в Бразилии, чтобы жук рода Coprophanaeus мог отложить в нём свои яйца. Тогда бы он жил в следующих поколениях жуков. "Нет смерти для меня. Ни червей, ни мух. Я буду жужжать на закате, как гигантский шмель".
I will leave a sum in my last will for my body to be carried to Brazil and to these forests. It will be laid out in a manner secure against the possums and the vultures just as we make our chickens secure; and this great Coprophanaeus beetle will bury me. They will enter, will bury, will live on my flesh; and in the shape of their children and mine, I will escape death. No worm for me nor sordid fly, I will buzz in the dusk like a huge bumble bee. I will be many, buzz even as a swarm of motorbikes, be borne, body by flying body out into the Brazilian wilderness beneath the stars, lofted under those beautiful and un-fused elytra which we will all hold

Русскоязычная википедия про это не пишет, но про это есть в англоязячной.

Я бы предпочёл миллиончик от шведского ЦБ. Тогда можно и не умирать каждый день.
