      I will never understand the purpose of this test. Like yeah attaching a body to a bomb blows it up.

      Nothing in this test is unable to be accomplished by a pig carcass

        It’s pretty disrespectful to pigs to suggest using them for a job that a human carcass can accomplish perfectly well. Show some respect for the dead, pig corpses are supposed to be treated with dignity.

      Hey, we can’t all contribute to curing cancer. For everyone who does help find the cures to diseases, hundreds more do their part testing the effects of explosives or vehicle crashworthiness, or training cadaver dogs on body farms. They’re going to need corpses for those things anyway.
