Jul 20, 2008 - actually not everyone...at least from what i was told when i visited the coroners office...they said if anyone under 18 had to have one automatically and obviously anyone who dies under suspicious circumstances...

Jul 20, 2008 - I've been to the coroners office on a fieldtrip (i'm studying medicine) and it is really shocking at first and the smell is horrible, but once you get past the shock it's actually pretty interresting and informative, I even considered this as a career, but it takes many many years of school...

Jul 20, 2008 - your one un-educated kid for realsI've seen autopsys where they only put on little gloves on.. there is no such serious dieases on that body its the same body as a chicken you ate which was day the same amount of time you are. Only thing a dead body might get after its been out too long is worms.

Jul 20, 2008 - yeah im so uneducated for reals. thats why im a licensed EMT and a third year pre-medicine scholarship-receiving student in college. not 2 mention, my grandpa was a doctor for 40+ years, with 20 of those years doing CSI crime reconstruction and forensic autopsies. youre right, i have NO idea what im talking about. theres no "S" on real, by the way.
nthomas87 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - and as far as the autopsies where they just use gloves and thats it, thats for severely decomposed bodies with no chance of blood or other fluids splattering -- like mummies (dried out bodies) -- where all bacteria cannot survive in or on the body. shes wearing a gown and splatter face shield for a reason. hes a fresh body that squirts shit out still and pathogens are still thriving. go to school.
nthomas87 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - not everyone has to go through this. only executed inmates, those who die of unnatural causes (murders; suicides), or when the family or law request it be done. otherwise they just put you in the freezer til you feed the worms B-)

Jul 20, 2008 - You are a silly selfish cow, I said.. human bodies just like a container, you don't need anymore when you are died. Who cares cremated or berried when they died. you know I don't mind give my organs away to people who are need it...when I gone. It's very silly to shame about or scary about your died body end up ..laid on the theater...That's my point of view, you take it or not...is your business, I don't care.

Jul 20, 2008 - I've always wondered why they perform autopsies on executed inmates. They execute them, deliberately.. and then wonder why they died? haha
sspoke Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - nthomas you are being sracastic or something but i am still smarter then you.. Being a doctor or some solarships doesn't make you smart.. it doesn't take a genius to cut open a body and cut off organs and put new organs in the same place make some connections etc.. give him some drugs.. man I hate people who think its a hard job and say u gotta be a doctor to know what u gotta do rofl what a joke. Using big words doesn't make you smart it makes you a mystery better suited for avoiding.
sspoke Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - nthomas look at another youtube video where they autopsy a young women maybe 20 years old died of some overdose they think.. they dont use any of this fancy equipment they use regular gloves I dont see anything splatting out.. she had fresh organs I think those could still be used for donor parts they look soo fresh like just killed 5 minutes ago LOL find it.. its the most popular autopsy video.Its the video where they cut 6 strips of meat from the heart.

Jul 20, 2008 - Taiwan I got my own beliefs thank you very much..

Jul 20, 2008 - Well sspoke....it doesn't take a genius to cut open a body and cut off organs and put new organs in the same place make some connections......really now lets see u do the operation where a young child's hand was disconnected and left dangling on only by a nerve and had to be connected just right(every muscle, tissue, fascia, nerve,etc.) so that the brian can send signals&the boy can have feeling in his right hand. But i mean who needs a doctor when we have the genius sspoke, right?
