In the introduction, the author gives a different approach on ways to view death. She talks about how death should mean something, not just a body laying horizontal for all to stare at. Death is described as meaning something. The use of corpses should be for more than just a display in a casket. They can use them for experiments and further research on the human body. I enjoyed the last sentence in the introduction on page 11 where she says, "Death. It doesn't have to be boring." The author gives a different mood on thinking about death. Usually death is associated with sad feelings and remorse. She wants death to be about remembering all of the good things that the individual did in their lifetime and continue to celebrate it. In chapter one, the topic of discussion is the human head. The way the author talks about the head in great details, makes it seem like there's no restrictions in her writing. She isn't afraid to say what she is thinking or how she feels. I appreciate that in an author. It's a different approach to what could be a pretty plain subject.
