I really loved this book, but I had to skip over the parts about the dog surgery (that is putting it sooooooo mildly). I recommend it, and I think it educates a very overlooked part of our lives as humans.

I appreciated the lack of squeamishness in discussing what happens to bodies that are donated to science and how the system works.  I learned a lot.
