Haven’t watched the prog, but read a similar article a bit ago.
When I was a prospective med student, we toured the anatomy labs at Leeds Uni on an open day. Really weird experience seeing the bods carved up like a roast dinner.
Having met a few med students along the way, there are lots of urban myths about entrail necklaces and hands in shoeboxes for rag week / Halloween. In reality, I think the respect is drilled into all concerned from an early stage.
Still not sure I’d want to be a whole body donor though. I’m not religious, superstitious or even that squeamish. Happy to donate organs to help the living, but I’d like rest to be “tidied away” pretty quickly.
What the the surviving relatives make of it? Did they go and see pre/post dissection?
