Review:

Brilliant. Amazing. Enlightening.

A humorous at times, serious at times, and scientific at times look at a never discussed subject: what happens to cadavers.

From helping surgeons learn more and better techniques to helping develop safer cars, the extraordinary “lives” that cadavers lead help the living immeasurably.

Religion poisons everything. Some of the best science could have been done generations ago if not for objections from the powerful religious lobby forces.

This one earns the rare and coveted Neilosian 5 stars.
