which is mysterious. I know I wouldn't have know what this book was about just from the Title, so it leaves a little mystery. sarahshelton862 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497228920 2020-04-07 16:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497228920 For starters I didn't know you could donate your body to science, but i've always found stuff like donating your organs a simple thing to do that benefits a lot of things, so I don't think my viewpoint has changed. sarahshelton862 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497231816 2020-04-07 16:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497231816 This book is addressed to people looking to learn more about why and how cadavers are used to benefit the world. The author is trying to change the mind of people who think it is disrepectful to use cadavers. sarahshelton862 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497240082 2020-04-07 16:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497240082 I haven't read past the introduction, but I don't think the viewpoint of the scientist useing the cadavers is represented. I could defiently be wrong though. sarahshelton862 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497245507 2020-04-07 16:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/497245507 A joke matlockma https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501139836 It's sort of funny the word "stiff" also "corpse" or even "carcass." We like to make words that cover up our unease with these strange left-overs of a living person. But stiff is a weird and funny word that represents exactly Roach's take on things: It's funny! How else could you talk about dead folks if you didn't have a sense of humor about things I think you're right, Sarah, that the word conjures mystery, too.]]> 2020-04-09 18:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501139836 I was surprised at how the author could take an idea (death) and glorify it in a way that was disturbingly appealing. Her lighthearted tone even convinced me that death can be a wonderful thing, as if she's describing a trip to Disneyland. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501367377 2020-04-09 22:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501367377 She mentioned that she recognizes that her perspective on death is frowned upon by most people. That is a given to the readers. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501369699 2020-04-09 22:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501369699 You can donate your body to science, and it is not as uncommon as people think. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501370112 2020-04-09 22:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501370112 The title pulls the readers to question why she used the word "stiff" instead of something more simple, like "death" or "dead body". Readers can get a sense of her perspective, as she clearly doesn't see death as a simple process. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501371008 2020-04-09 22:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501371008 The viewpoints of the cadavers' families or the cadavers before their death. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501377680 2020-04-09 23:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501377680 The book is addressed to those who are interested in another layer that death offers. The author is trying to change the minds of people who do not approve the practices done on cadavers or people who look down on non-traditional approaches to the dead. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501382772 2020-04-09 23:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501382772 I don't think my viewpoint has changed yet. I grew up in a culture where the dead are still honored in spirit. -Elysia https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501386501 2020-04-09 23:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/501386501 The way it talks about death so easily and without much emotion. -Neela https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502494014 2020-04-10 20:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502494014 A lot of people have a different opinion on death from her. -Neela https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502499255 2020-04-10 21:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502499255 Donating your body is really helpful to scientists. -Neela https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502500417 2020-04-10 21:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502500417 It is so simple and doesn't reveal anything, so readers want to know more. -Neela https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502501027 2020-04-10 21:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/502501027 Elysia matlockma https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/504787314 I agree. We have all these hangups about cadavers and all this stuff we think MUST be done or NOT done to cadavers. And these feelings are strong!!!]]> 2020-04-13 15:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/504787314 T https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/504884612 my viewpoint hasn't changed do to the fact im used to whats going on because of my family. but its still interesting to read so far, although its gotten boring for me.]]> 2020-04-13 16:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/504884612 Something I found surprising was that back then people thought of dissection as a punishment worse than death. -Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550503661 2020-05-04 20:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550503661 The title "stiff" does not give away any information as to what the book includes and the unknown is always interesting which is why people want to read about it. -Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550519818 2020-05-04 20:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550519818 My view point hasn't changed. I already knew people could donate their bodies to science or to save others and I always thought that it was a great way of keeping part of yourself useful even if it was for others. -Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550528497 2020-05-04 20:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550528497 I think this book would be adressed to those who are interested in what your body can do after you have left it. She informs you of what parts of the body are used for. She is trying to change how people view practicing on cadavers.- Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550531556 2020-05-04 20:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550531556 One thing would be that people practice dissection on cadavers because i used to think they use a simulation -Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550539245 2020-05-04 20:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550539245 The viewpoints of how the cadavers family feel and how the cadavers were before their deaths is not represented. Another one would be how the cadaver became cadavers like how they died. -Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550556845 2020-05-04 21:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550556845 I already knew that people could donate their bodies to science or to help others.-Lesly https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550568009 2020-05-04 21:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/550568009 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560379860 it surprised me they use the corpse as an experiment to test thing such as an impact of a car crash. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560379860 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560386053 The author thinks we know that after we die some of our organs are donate and can be useful in the future.]]> 2020-05-08 17:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560386053 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560388886 that humans can be dissected after death for scientific reasons just like animals. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560388886 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560391340 the tittle doesn't really relate to what the author is talking about. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560391340 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560396267 the cadavers cause of death]]> 2020-05-08 17:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560396267 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560397465 i believe this book is addressed to those who are are trying to do something with their body after death. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560397465 emlynnavarrete529 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560403107 my view in donating organs has no been changed since this has been something a family member has done and therefore is very interesting.]]> 2020-05-08 17:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/560403107 samantha_garcia528 https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/589885433 It makes the reader believe ]]> 2020-05-23 00:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/nseerlh9ih6k/wish/589885433
