Absolutely! I don't think there is a place to private message here, though. If you are comfortable with leaving your email address here as a question, I can copy it down and delete it ASAP.

What do you do with the blood? I assume it is drained out of the corpse. Could it be donated to a blood bank if the person had signed a waiver like an organ donor does, or is it "dead" and unusable by then?

Hello Dr. Thanatos. I was thinking of using a body bag to sleep in to avoid getting bitten by the bed bugs in my bed. Do you have any advice of what kind to use?

Thank you

Are people of different ethnicity, say Cuban, embalmed with a different coloring than a caucasion person. Would the face be darker when the hands are "normal"?
