Freak of Nature by Julia Crane

 Kaitlyn never imagined she'd still be alive after she donated her body to science upon the event of her death, which is what most of us would think. She finds herself unable to remember anything before the past few months, and she's subjected to training, tests, and endless time alone.  She can't help but feel that she's missing something, that she's experiencing emotions that should have been eradicated when her body was fused with a supercomputer.

Although this story can be a bit dull in places (it's tedious to be the subject of scientific studies, and sometimes to read about them), it does make you stop and think what you would do in the same position.  Kaitlyn has to use her enhanced brain and physical skills to determine if she's still human enough not to think of herself as a monster.

This is a thought-provoking story of what happens after you check the box on your license that marks you as a donor after death.
