I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

Same. I’m facing a dire financial issue at the moment, been seriously considering finding a home for my pets and dipping out by the end of the year. The only thing that’s kept me from doing that already is that my oldest pet is 16 and does not do well with anyone
There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don’t always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.
I think that weight is a disqualification that’s been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it’s still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.
I think it’s implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.
The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research

Avery wants absolutely nothing to do with Kate, judging by the lean away from her lol

He was reportedly housed on a wing alongside murderers, killers, rapists and paedophiles, whom he (Watkins) branded “the worst of the worst”
It’s fucked up how hard the article goes into trying to garner sympathy for this guy. His crimes are horrific, and he was in that wing because he is the worst of the worst
The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol
15·3 days agoMy only suggestion, as a 00s teen who wore as many leg chains as possible, is to not let those straps droop/flop between the legs. Find connection points in the strap or other sections of the pant, or even leave the length inside the pockets and keep the strap sewn downand secured around the leg.
Getting stuck on chairs, bus seats, myself, car seats, etc., was honestly very annoying. And since they are sewn in as they are, they will be extra annoying in the wash.

I have a cousin named Kirsten, it’s pronounced like kur-stin. She’s the only Kirsten I’ve met that pronounces it that way
