    well now I’m upset I haven’t smelled a body in decomposition before ☹️ (if there is a God, I hope he prints this off and confronts me with this when I die)

    but I assume a morgue preserves the corpse well enough that I don’t think it will be too much of an issue

    now that you say it, I have smelled decomposing animal bodies before many times - but maybe not a human corpse 🤔

    In the early stages there are a lot of fecal smells.

    I would be very interested in being a pathologist or dealing with corpses, I think I’m better suited to that work than the average person - however, a lot of that work involves court testimony and working with the government, and I’m just not interested in having a job where public testimony is a major part of it or where I’m involved in the “justice system” (mostly because of the corruption and the feeling that my job would put me in morally compromised positions, and I just couldn’t handle that).
