In the next 55 pages of Mary Roach's Stiff she explains the great use of human cadavers. The ways of how it helps us living humans in ways that some people might not know of. She also gives very interesting discriptions and examples of diffrent ways human cadavers are used or were onced used as human crash dummies and how they would figure out if the car wold be safe enough to be drivin otu o nthe street. It show how vital it can be that without this informatin we maybe would be driving in very dangerous cars were we ca be killed just by the stering wheel. Mary Roach gives out interesting details that not just make you want to read her book but it gives you the interest of continuing reading her book. It makes me interested.

Stiff Chunk #1

In the first five pages of Mary Roach's Stiff, gives out explanations of certain feelings and the backround of cadavers and surgeons that use these cadavers. She says that cadavers have been used for the past 2000 years of those poeple who were murderers or donated their bodies to science, she also gives otu examples on how the surgeons feel or treat there cadavers. they try to treat the cadavers with respect and how the get of as seeing them as human bodies to more as object. There was a time were there were a large amount of surgeons and not enough cadavers to go around. the " scientist" explain of many ways they can get them and how there were despret people digging out graves of other peoples families and getting the cadaver.. This book is creepy but it is a interesting book that gives u an image of what some poeple do as there careers and how they might react diffrently from others like you or me. So far i have read 2 chapters of the book and so far it is an easy book to read.
