Corpse Tech DVD Available

The History Channel has recently released a DVD entitled Modern Marvels: Corpse Tech.

Here a description of this DVD which is sure to be at the top of your holiday shopping list:

Our final resting place is a lot busier than you think! Check out the unexpected life our bodies lead after we’re done with them.

• Waste not, want not: explore the many incredible uses of human corpses. * * *
• The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence. * * *

It may seem grisly or macabre, but a human’s body remains useful long after the person who lived in it has passed away. From forensic investigations to medical experimentation to organ and tissue transplantation, every cadaver has a purpose. In CORPSE TECH, MODERN MARVELS tours the boneyard to discover just how our remains are put to use.

Meet a County Coroner and visit the University of Tennessee’s famous Body Farm to see how dead bodies contribute to criminology. And tour a morgue, a crematorium, and one of the largest tissue banks in the United States to discover the multitudinous fates awaiting our earthly vessels.

So, whether saving a life, catching a crook, or memorializing the departed, CORPSE TECH will show you how the job gets done.
