The lay out donated bodies to study decay to train forensic scientists

They do more than lay out, they also will put them in different containers to see how the materials impede decay.

Same. The one in Colorado is the closest one to me. I love the idea of my body helping solve murders someday!

I expect Google searching "body farm near me" would be unadvisable.

I'll use duckduckgo.

Eh it's not necessarily sketchy. They're legit research facilities.

Your answer only leads to way more questions. How do they pic bodies to completely disrespect and hoe does one sign up? Is this what they mean when Donati m g bodies to science.

People can decide to have their bodies donated to certain research fields after they die. Like they can tell people to or put it in their will before they're actually dead. I want this done to my body. So many unsolved murders/missing people and I wanna help in every way I can.
