Description
"For two thousand years, cadavers some willingly, some unwittingly have been involved in sciences boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. Theyve tested Frances first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender confirmation surgery, cadavers have helped make history in their quiet way. {28}Delightfulthough never disrespectful,Provided by publisher.
