Aren't you Polish? Anyway I thought the skull came from your dad? Do you know where he got it from, it may not have been donated to medical science...Kukul said:I don't find it a tiny bit ironic. The preparation you're talking about has been done for the puropse of learning to help other people, not fooling around. Cutting someone's head of does not mean disrespect (in Japan it's quite the opposite)megalomania said:Although I appreciate the sentiment of treating the dead body with respect, I do find it ironic that you are saying that after the corpse(s) has been decapitated and dismembered, then presumably stripped of flesh and sinew to leave clean bone.Kukul said:Sounds tempting, but (I know it sounds unprobable) I'm mature enough to treat dead people with respect.megalomania said:You should turn the skull into an ash tray and a money clip (if you have the lower jaw). Not sure what you could do with the Femur and Tibia, stone age drum-sticks maybe?![]()
I see the irony, also the fact that they are rolling around the bottom of your cupboards with smelly shoes and dusty old books.
I'll leave it at that because I actually agree with you and I'm tired and not really trying to flame.
I don't think there is any respect or dignity for bodies donated to science, I know a bunch of British med-students and I've heard some weird stories about the cadavers, but they are necessary to learn.
