My father has recently informed meof his decision to leave his cadaver to Manchester university for medical research. He's extremely anti-theist and wants to make sure that there is no possibility of a fraudulent god-botherer presiding over a meaningless ceremony and this I agree with. But when he actually signed the papers and asked for my 'blessing' as it were, I could not give it and we've had quite an argument about it.
I just don't want to think of grubby medical students ( who as with most students have no respect or morals ) slowly dissecting my father over 3 years and then for me to receive a letter informing me that they burned him ( which is the process ). If I find him first when he croaks I have told him he's going to the peat bog and fuck his wishes and the authorities.

I don't care what happens to his corpseas long as it is dealt with. Same for myself. I just don't think that there is any dignity or use in it. I don't think that he really understands the implications of it and believes he might be a part of some great and helpful medical breakthrough rather than as a slab of meat for hungover wannabe surgeons to practice cutting up and take the piss out of.

from what i've gathered having a real cadaver to use does aid learning better than computer simulationsi'd prefer to be a part of the bodyworks exhibition though

I quite like the idea of surgeons having actually cut up something very like a living human before they try operating on me.
