The Body Farm Research Paper
The Reaper is a Creeper
The definition of death is the termination of life. The mythical character named death which acts as a personification of the taker of life and souls. It is usually represented as a walking skeleton with a mysterious black cloak, holding a scythe. He is also known as the Grim Reaper. Does this make death scary? Walking upon a dead decomposing body is like spending the night in a haunted house. At first there is speculation but eventually your stomach ties in knots. In seconds the smell hits you like a ton of bricks smashing your nose, legs gradually weaken, your eyes start to water, electrical charges run down you spine, you heart pounds like a jack hammer.

The second category is those cadavers that are donated by their families because they wanted to be donated to science but did not fill out the proper paperwork. The last group is those who plan ahead and have special permission to have their body donated to the Body Farm when they die. Walking through the farm gives you a strange feeling inside. Knowing you are surrounded by death, Goosebumps pop out of your body. Lying in the brush is a body that was stabbed several times with a large sharp object. This cadaver will be examined everyday for roughly 6-8 months. One corpse that was in the burn category made my bones shiver. This cadaver was burned alive in the trunk of a car. So the University had the police bring the entire crime scene to the body farm. The skin reminded me of chicken left on the grill to long. If it wasn't for forensic anthropologist researchers, and their strong stomachs, many criminals would be walking free today. This line of work is helpful in many ways in today's society. The questions that might be asked include: Was this individual male or female? How old were they when they died? How tall were they? Were the people studied in good or poor general health? Forensic anthropology involves the application of these same methods to modern cases of unidentified human remains. Through the established methods, a forensic anthropologist can aid law enforcement in establishing a profile on the unidentified remains. The profile includes sex, age, ethnicity, height, length of time since death, and sometimes the evaluation of trauma seen on
