Bodies Donated To Science Left To Rot, Be Eaten By Rats

[Sugar Cookie]

French authorities are probing claims that human bodies donated for science were left to rot and be eaten by rats at a Paris university research center, according to a report.

The probe comes after an investigation by French newspaper L’Express, published in November last year, detailed how thousands of bodies were found in vile conditions at the Centre for Body Donations of Paris Descartes University, The Guardian reports.

The newspaper, describing the scene photographed in 2016, said naked corpses were dismembered and haphazardly stacked on top of one another or discarded in overflowing garbage bags.

Some body parts were decomposing while others were gnawed by rats, the newspaper reported, according to The Guardian. A severed head was also found on the floor.

The grisly discovery caused the French government to shut down the center while prosecutors launched an investigation. But this week, prosecutors handed over the “violations of the integrity of a corpse” investigation to French magistrates, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced Thursday.
“
This is very good news,” said Fredereic Douchez, a lawyer for the families, who added that the magistrates have much wider powers to get to the bottom of what happened, the newspaper reports.

Wasn't there an article awhile back about the same thing happening in Arizona? Only it was a mortuary? I remember something about the wrong body parts sewn onto the wrong body. Like a tony head on a huge body. I know there was a bin of dicks. I remember thinking I would have liked to seen that... and then I realized what a sick and twisted individual I am. But seriously, there was an article. It was in Arizona.

I'd rather rot and be eaten by rodents than be filled full of chemicals. Lay me out in the woods and let nature take her course. It doesn't really matter. Fuck my corpse and eat me. Just don't preserve me. My rightful place is in the food chain.

I've never seen Craygors cat. Or heard about it. I do know he looks Nordic pureblood. I'm gonna say he has a yellow tom!

Being turned into fascinating art, like the Body Worlds exhibit with the plasticized human bodies would be pretty awesome.

I guess the rats gotta eat too

My family knows, take whatever organs, tissues, bone that can be used for transplants, and send the rest of me to science.
I don't care if it's a body farm, where they lay me out somewhere or in something to decompose, or if it's a medical program, where I'm soaked in formaldehyde and used for teaching as the 25th student gets to practice
doing life saving medical procedures on my organs, or repeated full autopsies for those who'll specialize in pathology as Medical Examiners.
I'll be dead, and way beyond caring what's done with my empty shell.

I, for one, think that this is an excellent course for human carcass disposal. Let the carcass coagulate and be a part of nature, then, with minimal (if any) live human intervention, the carcass can biodegrade and blend with the surrounding and encompassing nature of said carcass' location.

I wanted to do that one, but my family would have to pay to transport my body there. It's just a bit out of range for free transport.
