[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7722469, member: 51054"] I have said, every society or culture has it's own subjects that are taboo, the Victorians, it was sex, with us now, we are happy to discuss everything sexual but our taboo is death, everything is sanitised and death removed for sight. We had a vet here years ago, and as we were washing out boots she was telling me, when she grew up, every dead sheep on the farm she did an autopsy on (my daughter was thinking of becoming a vet at that stage and she was doing the same, out in the shed with a microscope!). This conversation was fresh in my mind, as I was visiting universities with my son, and I was chatting to a couple of parents, and I said something like my daughter wanted to be a vet (before she chose zoology) and was always cutting up dead sheep, they started to back away from me in fright as if I was some sort of serial killer or Appalachian hill billy who lived on road kill!!
