Weird question, but do you try to put it back after?

I took some biology courses in college. I got to dissect a cat, but one day they showed us the cadavers and I got to hold a human brain.
It was a surreal and humbling experience. To hold that and know that it once contained all of a persons hopes, dreams, and experiences.

I knew I couldnt handle med school the first time I saw the manhandling of a cadaver. I just cant view a body like that objectively. I know they consented, but it still feels like a violation cutting into them.

I’m only 60% through, but it’s wonderful! I love nonfictions like this. Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone and The Demon in the Freezer + Bill Bryson’s An Occupant’s Guide to the Body are great too.

I came into this thread to say the same thing. Just finished it a few weeks ago and it is so well researched and informative and funny even when she's going into great and gory details!

Maybe 15 of those bones were skulls

>1200 bones from roughly 15 bodies
Let’s do the math. 206 bones in the human body. 206 bones x 15 bodies =3090 bones. That’s a quarter of the bones found. That’s a pretty generous “roughly”.

I didn’t mean back then. I was speaking to the person saying it wasn’t legal now. I was saying there’s no need to grave rob, because people donate. Sometimes willingly. Sometimes its not willingly, but those who don’t have a will or family at death (homeless, mentally ill, other like cases). But it’s been a long time since I’ve done a cadaver lab, so I could be misremembering
