cadavers

So, sending human cadavers down a track is science, but what about comparing the crumple zone deformation with computer models?

A long time ago, it was illegal to dissect cadavers and medical knowledge required committing a crime.

Then it might be practiced on human cadavers to work out more of the technical aspects.

Surgeons read a lot of books, but they also practice their cutting skills on cadavers.

Prior to the passage of those laws, though, doctors and medical students flocked to wherever there was a ready supply of cadavers.

Medical schools that could provide their students with a fresh supply of cadavers attracted foreign students from places where dissection was still taboo.

I remember reading a study of cadavers that found everyone has microscopic cancers throughout their bodies, throughout their lives.

At first I misread the title and thought it meant a black market for ebola-infected blood (or ebola-infected cadavers).

I read an article in The New Yorker about body parts harvested from cadavers that were used in transplants.

For example, my understanding is that before China was the popular source of cadavers, medical schools in the US procured their specimens from India.

He scans the river for cadavers, drags them to shore with a small boat and then charges grieving families to recover their relatives' corpses.

Michelangelo made surreptitious use of cadavers to sharpen his anatomical skills.

There's some great information on this in the book "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach [1].

The book "Excellent Cadavers" which documents this tragedy and the preceding events is incredible.

For a more varied look at what can happen after you die, I recommend the book "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach [1].

But the trick is that our Constitution is only 55 years old, so somehow we don't have that many "cadavers in our closets", previous treaties (and I guess it's mostly treaties signed 1945 -> 1958) were taken care of explicitly in our Constitution, the rest is recent history.

One of my favorite books is Excellent Cadavers.
