I don’t want to sound like a fuddy-duddy, but I take this stuff seriously.

When I was in school and we had exposure to cadavers or autopsies, it was impressed upon us that these were people who had volunteered and donated their bodies or otherwise given permission where applicable.

They were mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, and friends to people who loved them very much. They should be treated with respect.

We took it seriously, and these people should have as well. This is poor leadership, the way I see it.

I laughed as hard as anyone at the line in “Animal House” regarding the medical school cadavers and the faculty luncheon, but I just don’t agree with this type of behavior.

Well, if you sound like a fuddy duddy than so do I. Cadavers donated for science should be shown respect. I’ve known some med students etc.. and they were given a lecture about it. Okay.. it’s a dead body now but at one time.. it was a living human being with family, friends, hopes and dreams. Perhaps I was raised differently.. we were taught to show respect for the dead.

I agree with you. I don’t know why anyone thinks this is funny. She should be in trouble.
