Yep, a very good example of a medical school cadaver. I certainly have done a bunch of those when I was in the funeral biz. I don't think that one of those bodies could ever possibly rot away. This was while I was in Houston, TX. Each of the various Medical Schools thee had their own "recipe" they wanted used for their bodies. At the time, in the late 60's early 70's, my company had the contract for all of the school cadavers. When all is said and done, about 10 gallons of the final fluid was pumped in with all open veins and arteries closed off, this way the fluid was forced into all of the tissues, and the body would just about look like a floater. This was due to all of the many gallons of fluid absorption. The reason they did it this way was because the had to hold the bodies for 6 months before they could dissect them. This was all due to the laws, that the next of kin could reclaim the body at any time during that 6 month waiting period. If they weren't claimed, then they could use them. By the time that waiting period was over, the bodies had shrunken down to almost they way the person was when they had died. This was due to the evaporation process drying out the body, because they were stored dry, at room temp. Just thought ya might want to know about this...C
