The Body Farm
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 3 page paper discussing the function of the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Research Facility, commonly referred to as the Body Farm. Cadavers are left exposed to the elements so that forensic anthropologists can study how unburied bodies decompose. The Body Farm appears to operate well within the guidelines of accepted scientific practice regarding the study and handling of human remains. Though the site and its purpose may be shocking initially, it apparently violates no stated code of ethics as it provides a valuable service to law enforcement organizations. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
