Reply to comment by Roushfan5 in In the 1990s over 1,200 bones from roughly 15 bodies were found buried in Benjamin Franklin's London house, they are believed to be the remains from an anatomy school founded by an associate of Franklin's. by ffoboomstick

I took some biology courses in college. I got to dissect a cat, but one day they showed us the cadavers and I got to hold a human brain.

It was a surreal and humbling experience. To hold that and know that it once contained all of a persons hopes, dreams, and experiences.

I loved my biopsychology class in college. My professor labeled the parts of actual human brains and let us hold one. It was quite awe-inspiring...it's difficult to describe the feeling. They're so small.
