“WHY THE IMPORTANCE OF VIEWING AND EMBALMING?? ?” Embalming: Embalming is the art and science of preserving human death body for a temporary period of time in order to make it suitable for people to have a look over it while the funeral – which is termed as viewing. It also makes the body preserve and disinfects in avoidance the spread of diseases. Viewing: To have a look or glance on the death body of the person during the time of funeral is termed as viewing. It is also very common in almost all of the cultures for a long time till now.
Friends and family would then be able to come pay their last respects. Once the viewing was over the men would take the body to the burial site that they would personally dig. In today’s society we have people to do these jobs for us. As Thompson talks about in his
Should euthanasia be allowed? Euthanasia is a way to relieve ill people’s pain and save them from a terrible illness. Most people choose to do euthanasia because they are terminal patients, and there is no hope to live. Now I will tell you a real story. Ewart was an American who had gotten a disease that causes his organs to shrink for a long time.
Cadaver’s and the Law Can you imagine going to take your loved one flowers to the grave site? Only to find they gave is dug up and the body is missing. Because of sensible laws regulating the acquisition of cadavers, we don’t have to worry. I’m for the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, mainly to protect the dead. Anatomists have used bodies of dead people called cadavers for studies of the human body.
The body is filled with a cocktail of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and ethanol, all toxic chemicals. After that, the body is washed, dressed, and coated in a vast array of makeup to hide the appearance of death. The corpse is then placed in a steel casket, and ready for viewing. Viewings can either be open or closed casket, usually at the discretion of the family. This usually takes place the day before the funeral, and allows family and friends of the deceased to say their final goodbyes.
In cases where the patient believes they never existed, they may not know their own name or personal details about their lives and their past. In cases where the patient believes they are dead, they often give details about their death and remember their name and their life. Most people with Cotard’s Delusion will go to the graveyard or morgues because they believe it’s where they belong since they’re “dead”. Hallucinations of their body parts rotting or falling off, including internal organs, is common. People with this syndrome will often complain of the smell of their flesh rotting and when the doctors check their vitals, they’ll tell the patient that their vitals are fine; the patient will believe that the doctors are lying to them.
Burial Customs All Around the World A funeral is a ceremony that is carried out to mark the death of a person in which the corpse of that particular person is buried or cremated. It marks the passing on from life to death. The funeral practice may include prayers, rituals, and/or donations that differ between ethnic groups or ancient tradition. Through history, many different techniques of laying the dead to rest have been created. Some cultures believe that burning the body or conducting a “funeral pyre” is the best way, while others believe that dismembering the deceased person’s body and leaving it for nature to do away with it is the correct way.
When murder happens because of self-defense, not malice, killing is acceptable. In contrast to killing for survival, euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. Some people with Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and other incurable painful conditions choose to have their doctors assist them in dying. In a news article, a mother of two children and her husband developed Alzheimer’s disease, a form of non-curable dementia that erases memory, thinking, and behavior overtime. After the mother
It shows how, through Auden's use of tone, language, and structure, he portrays a very well-defined image of death and its effects on the individual, which is by no means desirable. From the Paper: In "Funeral Blues" Auden makes the bitter attitude of the speaker toward the subject of death apparent to the readers through the use of symbols, imagery, personification, and the metaphor. In the first stanza Auden states, "stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone..."(Auden 1362. 1). The clock being stopped may signify the fact that he who died has run out of time and also to ask those who knew him to stop what they are doing and reflect.
From the beginning, the community depicts Miss Emily more as an unwanted object they wish to explore than a recently deceased person. Part of the first line reads, “When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house” (Faulkner, 391). When a person dies, the initial reaction of most people would
