life has toughened my skin a bit as far as many things go, including death. i took anatomy and physiology in high school and we did cats; i always wanted to be a doctor when i was growing up, until i found out you have to be smart to do so.
i agree with what you say about respect for the dead these days. thanks for your opinions in this thread. i enjoyed them greatly.
Originally posted by dgs I agree that the autopsy has a fascination value to it. Listen, it is an absolutely amazing thing to see how the body works. My reaction, though, isn't based on the event, it's based on my suspicions of the guys motivations--to defile for entertainment is different than to educate. Respect for the dead is something lost on society these days, largely because, as a society, we are protected from death. We don't see it around us very much, and when we do, it's very anaseptic. This tends to lend a TV-land quality to this whole thing. Freaky, but not really "real." It's more like watching a horror flick than confronting the mortality and machinery of man. But whatever, I think the guy has a right to do it if he wants, I just think he's an a**h**le for doing so. |
