Hi SusanAnne,

Earlier this summer, a good friend of mine recently had a job interview with an interesting company that deals with dead bodies for organ donations. The staffer told my friend that they typically accepts only T-W-O P-E-R-C-E-N-T of the bodies they get for organ transplants!!! In other words, the accepted bodies usually come from "incidential traumas" like car accidents -- definitely NOT from illnesses, i.e. diabetes.

BTW, my friend was applying for a packaging engineer position, so obviously this company "packs" and "carries" dead bodies as well as "ships" organ transplants. Also, occording to the interview in which my friend had learned a LOT, the company is more busy than we could ever imagine.... Just a lot of body traffic... I told my friend that I couldn't just fathom the concept of such heavy traffic, especially the fact of "disposing" 98% of dead bodies! :-(
