Blog Thirteen

The next character we are introduced to is Yvonne and her job is to saw off the heads of the cadavers. EW! People wonder and ask her what that is like and she says she thinks of them as wax. Also the best way to deal with cadavers and people who work with them is to think more of them as objects not people. For example, it compares to us eating animals very well. It's is much the same reason as of why we call our meat "beef" and "pork" and don't refer to them as cow and pig. When referring to them like that it is much less appetizing/ same goes for people who work with cadavers... it's all about the depersonzlizing and objectification.
Fact: a injection of saline is used to freshen the cadavers.
Yvonne is also the lab manager, the person responsible when things go wrong.
