Summary: Very informative, not at all boring
Comment: This book takes a look at the many uses throughout the ages of human remains. It is cleverly written, with a blend of humor and science that makes it a quick yet educating read. Roach has a way of presenting the subject without sounding like a college lecture, and is very respectful to the dead. I was highly impressed, and my friends are all waiting to brrow the book from me.
Rating: 5
Summary: I never thought I'd be...
Comment: reading a book about the...uh...life of cadavers. The reviews in Discover Magazine and Scientific American changed my mind, though. It's a hilarious book about a morbid topic that will make you think.
Rating: 5
Summary: Convincing
Comment: I've been telling my family for years that I want my remains donated to science --- but, hopefully, in the very far future!
I certainly won't rehash the other reviews; I agree with most.
I only hope this book convinces more of us that there are more positive outcomes from our inevitable ends than cremation or moldering away in a casket. Who cares if research is "undignified"? We're dead!!!
I'm certain, however, the funeral industry disagrees....
