Going to Harvard???

1. Semrau's point is to conserve, reuse, and recycle everything, including yourself.

2. By intentionally leaving out information Semrau makes his point even stronger.  By making it sound like he was going to Harvard to become a doctor at the age of 75 and making you believe that that college had excepted him, he made you think.  He was using his body to the fullest.  However he was exactly reusing his body.   Instead of enrolling to Harvard as a medical student, Semrau was enrolling to someday become a cadaver.  Semrau was going to be an anatomical gift.  Semrau decided that sense he can no longer conserve he was going to reuse himself so that other could recycle him. The intent of this essay was to not be wasteful.  Semrau is putting his body to good use even after his gone.  The world today throws away useful and valuable items every day.  All Semrau is asking is to stop and think.  Are we conserving, reusing, or recycle.  Semrau believes once item is no longer functional, then it is time to recycle.  The world as a whole needs to use all that it is given until it can no longer function.  So from now on we need to stop and conserve, reuse, and recycle.
