The author Mary Roach shares her knowledge of the dead in the book “Stiff, The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers”. Roach is both the narrator and character in the book. We discover that she struggles with the choice of whether and how to leave her body to science. The book is gross, graphic, and somewhat humorous as it provides medical and scientific information on the dead and how their bodies are used for science, medical research, and other studies. Mary Roach divided the book into twelve chapters.
However, this research also made me feel uneasy at how one small component in someone’s life could turn someone into a serial killer.

Ever since the early 18th century with the cases of the “wild beast” many cases have come and gone but some have gained popularity in the talks of society. Such as the Edward Theodore case in 1957. Edward Theodore Gein was born on August 27, 1906, in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Growing up Gein was devoted to his mother until she died in 1945, and he then became increasingly deranged and started to go to cemeteries to unbury recently buried female corpses. As soon as he unburied the female he would cut off body parts and keep them as trophies, then put the rest of the corpse making it seem as if he never dug it up.

Prostitution is now typically viewed as an urban problem, but it was pervasive and generally accepted during the expansion of the American western states where 1 in 10 women were prostitutes. As thousands of men trekked westward in search of riches they were followed by many prostitutes. In fact, the term “hell on wheels” originated from the ladies who followed the Union Pacific railroad workers in wagons. However, the primary factor behind the tremendous demand for prostitution was a very disproportionate male to female ratio. For example, in 1860 there were only 30 women in the silver mining town of Virginia City, NV with a population 2,236.
He could have chosen prostitutes and he would have twice as many kills before anyone would have caught on. The choice of victim is more important than going under the radar, and is obviously a major driving force behind his actions.

Prostitution is a widely recognized topic, anyone and anywhere can get involved into this line of work with just one thing, themselves.

The body of the unfortunate girl was duly dissected, and no one remarked or appeared to recognize her” (The-Body Snatchers 11). Proving the closer the two become to each other, they grew more monstrous in the eyes of the audience. The reason for this is because the text shows that Fettes and Dr.Macfarlane were involved in Body-Snatching for their own personal gain. Although they weren’t physically digging the graves up they had a grand part in these committed crimes because they paid men such as Gray to do
Prostitution is considered to be one of the oldest professions. Prostitution is an illegal business in many countries of the world and it is considered to be largely immoral. However, its scope is expanding simultaneously with the globalization of business and culture, which is the hallmark of our time.
