“What is so interesting about death? Is it the science? Is it like a ‘forbidden fruit’ that you want to know about, but are too afraid to touch? Is it because it is such a taboo subject in our society? Why is it such a taboo subject? Are we afraid of it or are we afraid to offend someone who has lost a loved one?

Is it because of all the new scientific advancements?” —Friday Was Busy (Autopsy Report: Log of Experiences as a Medical Examiner Intern)
