Summary
This is the story of how Jackie Dent's grandparents -- Ruby and Julie -- donated their bodies to a university when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of dealing with the bodies of dead loved ones and cutting them up for research? Weaving the personal with the history of studying the dead, Jackie Dent meets anatomists, forensic scientists, artists and body donors -- all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.
