It wasn't answered before and I hope I don't get reprimanded for asking again...(those sites didn't help)
Are bodies fully immursed in formalin (a solution of formaldehyde, water, and methanol) when preserved?
And I would assume that they're internal organs are removed and discarded unless they decide to donate
and only the external stuff is preservered?
I meant preserved of course. (spelling error)
If you are talking about embalming, here is a site for you to read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embalming
Um...I stopped reading halfway down the page...started getting nauseous
It was extremely graphic into how they preserve people.
Thanks anyways Dr.Bob =D
Actually, the good part (where they actually describe the different types of embalming is further down the page. Way down. Past the history part.
EWW Dr.Bob..I started to get queasy after reading HOW they embalm during each step which I can't believe they numbered....
