Thank you for an outstanding story. Medical gross anatomy is a unique university course. A large number of students find it delightful and fascinating, yet many people have a macabre view of it. Your story elucidates this dichotomous perception and while it comes on a bit strong the themes of respect for the bodies, sacrifice of the donors and appreciation for these absolutely crucial teachers of anatomy is wonderful. The last paragraph is beautifully written and very powerful! -Todd Hoagland, Medical Gross Anatomy course director
