In chapter five of Stiff, Mary Roach delves into the subject of aviation pathology. She explains how aviation pathologists determine what happened during a plane crash and where it originated from by using information gathered from autopsy reports. Body dispersal and the condition of the bodies found both help aviation pathologists determine what caused the plane in question to crash. Aviation pathologists can gather clues about the crash from the bodies recovered from the plane, and the disturbances of the bodies, such as foreign bodies, chemical burns, and broken bones, to determine what happened during the plane crash. Roach also discusses airplane safety, including why some safety features are not supplied on airplanes.
I think Peter Singer does not like this redefinition of brain death because it sounds like they are doing euthanasia on the patient. One reason why I think that Peter Singer thinks it is not a good way to redefine brain death in that way is because it sounds to me that euthanasia is what they are doing to the patient. To be exact it sounds like passive euthanasia is what is happening to the patient where they are letting the patient die without pain. I think its passive euthanasia because they are removing the respiratory machine from the patient even though he still has some brain functions working and are causing his death. Redefining brain death in that way would make the patients family think that they are killing him

He’s not depressed he’s bored. The 39 deaths of Adam Strand is a book by Gregory Galloway is a young adult book that mainly focuses on this boy who has killed himself so many times now that he’s become a famous person in his small town. The tone of the book doesn’t seem like how the cover of the book would sound like most of the time. It can be a serious/comedic moment in the book at any time even though this person dies many times over and over. I’d recommend the book to people that like hearing about death
