Re: Donating your body to science

[Guest guest]

This is handled by the University of Tennessee I think. You should start

there. The farm is in TN somewhere I have heard. Good luck. A worthy

idea.

Donating your body to science

I do know of a place that will take your body, but it's more for

forensic purposes than for testing purposes. I have to do a little

research as to where this place is, but if memory serves (which have

been having major brain farts this week) the place is called the Body

Farm and they use the bodies that they get to do research and better

techniques for forensic pathology, solving murders, etc.Without getting

too graphic, one thing they look for is decomposition as certain times

of the year. Pretty interesting stuff if you're into it. Then again, I'm

majoring in mortuary science with a minor in forensic pathology. So I

love this stuff.

If you don't care where you end up, let me know and I'll find out where

the Body Farm is located and you can contact them directly.

Sorry guys.
