Texas Body Farm, The Largest Body Farm in the World
When police come across the grisly remains of a human body, they need to identify details like time of death from biological clues. For instance, the amount of bloating and skin yellowing indicates how long a body has been decaying. What happens biologically after someone dies is studied in the field of forensic anthropology. The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State University is one of only five body farms in the world. Students examine human decomposition by dumping recently deceased bodies in open fields under a variety of different conditions. Watch the video below for an in-depth look into their work. Warning: the images in the video are graphic. |

Re: Texas Body Farm, The Largest Body Farm in the World
This is actually how I want to go afterwards, very nice to know I can now rot in the land I love as I should.  Not even joking I'm signing up for this. Tanks for the post!!! I'm going to buy an acre in deep east Texas and donate it to them, so I can rot in a swamp. |

In all seriousness, your father's last gift is commendable. We should all be grateful for his commitment to the greater good. |
