But it's okay for 1st year Med students to hack up corpses in the name of education?

Corpses of people that have "donated their body to science" are *extremely* valuable as crash dummies. Nothing we've designed can match the accuracy of a real body in a crash test. Those corpses are saving lives.

i believe that the FBI has a field where they let corpses decay so they can study the rate of decay and insect infestation to determine time of death more accurately.
i'd rather be a crash test dummy when i go.
