And that if there’s any danger, which I like to think that there isn’t, we’re all doomed, so relax and have another Snickers.
Footnote from Ch. 6, “The Cadaver Who Joined the Army”, STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach, concerning the use of ballistics gelatin to study the effects of bullet wounds and the like. Ballistics gelatin was created in tandem with the Kind & Knox gelatin company to create this human tissue simulant, rather than use cadaver pieces.
