Reply to comment by Roushfan5 in In the 1990s over 1,200 bones from roughly 15 bodies were found buried in Benjamin Franklin's London house, they are believed to be the remains from an anatomy school founded by an associate of Franklin's. by ffoboomstick

I knew I couldnt handle med school the first time I saw the manhandling of a cadaver. I just cant view a body like that objectively. I know they consented, but it still feels like a violation cutting into them.

I was able to handle bones of various ages in an osteology lab and looking at plenty of pictures of cadavers while studying anatomy on my own time, until I came across one that looked like my husband.

That was a hard nope.

Any plans for studying forensics went out the window pretty quick after that.
