TOPIC: Too Fat For Death

Created by: Nkenswing Original Starting post for this thread:
It’s a rare day when Richard Drake turns down a dead body, but last week, he had no choice. At 6-foot-1 and 350 pounds, the deceased in question was simply too big for the Cleveland Clinic Body Donation Program, which provides specimens for anatomy classes at the Lerner College of Medicine and elsewhere. “Someone that’s shorter and carrying a lot of weight, that is a problem,” said Drake, director of anatomy and a professor of surgery. “The storage is one issue, but when you are obese, there’s a lot of tissue everywhere. The students don’t get as good a learning opportunity.” Reluctantly, Drake informed the dead man’s family he’d have to turn down the donation request because their loved one exceeded the size limits for medical research. “They understood that, because, actually, they had tried a few other places,” Drake said. “They were sort of checking around.” In a country where more than a third of adults are obese, the impact of extra weight extends, it seems, even beyond death.
