Have you ever seen a dead body?
How did you feel?
Upset? Traumatised? Relieved? Like poking it with a stick?

is more blase than a penguin should be..
Yup, seen many. Its part of my job so i see them in many states from cardiac arrest to in the morgue, and also at dissecion. Dissection is strange - you get freaked out by it the first time and then it just becomes routine... The worst ever experience ive had though was a gentleman who was left on an air pump mattress while i was expected to certify him dead: its about 4am, dark with the rain agaist the windows, I go into a little half lit room where hes laid out, with flowers and a bible, and I put my stethoscope to his chest and just at that point the air matress reinflates and I can hear it through his chest - this deep ascending Hwooogh noise as though he had just taken a huge gasp... my legs had got me out into the corridor before my brain worked it all out....
