My Dead Body

[SpongepantsSquareBob]

This might be very sad but I'm watching it. Anyone else?
she sounds lovely.

They have an annual remembrance type event for people who donated their bodies.

I got the impression that this program was more about Toni, than her actual donation and the process it went through. I love a bit of anatomy too, but each donated body has a story.
She was a living, breathing person, and not a bit of meat for students to pour over.
I think this program is good for people considering body donation.
I loved that her family was visited too.
My experience in this field is limited (one cadaver lab in uni), but I still wondered about the lives and stories behind the bodies I was learning from.

Yep. Went to my granny's one. It was so well done and the medical students read out all the names of the donors. Whatever they had left of her was put in a coffin for our own cremation service some time after.

Thank you! That's good to know.

I've just watched it. I found it hard to watch, even seeing what the body looks like after death. I didn't expect that. I think after watching it , donation is something I would consider. Obviously you play a large part in the training of future health care professionals which is such a good thing.

I turned it off before the dissection began. It was so sad and, well, depressing. I didn't expect her to look like that, and it was horrific to see what the cancer had done to her. She was born the same month as my DS, January 1990.

If it had been an old person who had had a more 'timely' death I might have watched it. Bless her for her donation to science

Found it very moving. I was shocked at what cancer had done to her body. What an incredible woman who's life was cut so tragically short. Her family's strength and respect for her decision was also remarkable. RIP Toni.

It was a hard watch. I lost my dad recently to colon cancer and it had matastised to various other organs. The growth on her face,my dad had the same 😢

@PenelopeTitsDrop3121 I'm sorry
