After we diethe life and times of the human cadaver /[electronic resource] :Norman L. Cantor. - Washington, D.C. :Georgetown University Press,c2010. - 1 online resource (x, 372 p.).

Includes bibliographical references (p. 333-350) and index.

When does a person become a corpse? -- The human nature of a cadaver-- The legal status of the postliving : do corpses have rights? -- Decomposition of the body and efforts to slow its disintegration -- Finaldisposal of human remains -- Eternal preservation of the deceased : literally and figuratively -- The cadaver as supplier of used body parts -- The cadaver as teacher, research subject, or forensic witness -- Thecadaver as parent -- Body snatching, then and now -- Desecration of human remains -- Public display and the dignity of human remains -- Don'tneglect the fate of your remains.

This volume chronicles not only a human corpse's physical state but also its legal and moral status, including what rights, if any, the corpse possesses. The author argues that a corpse maintains a "quasi-humanstatus" granting it certain protected rights-both legal and moral. Oneof a corpse'spurported rights is to have its predecessor's disposal choices upheld. This work reviews unconventional ways in which a person can extend a personal legacy via their corpse's role in medical education, scientific research, or tissue transplantation. The author outlinesthe limits that post-mortem "human dignity" poses upon disposal options, particularly the use of a cadaver or its parts in educational or artistic displays. Contemporary illustrations of these complex issues abound.
