My mom had her bowel bypassed for a little bit after having some diverticulitis surgery. And just that not even adding a new organ effected her personality. The trauma of surgery only will shift a person. Add the baggage of knowing something foreign is inside you, and that something might have been from a dead person is probably enough to fuck with most people.

I feel kinda stupid about it. I can't articulate why, but it feels wrong to use animals that way. Which is weird because I eat animals. I find cows and pigs adorable and I eat them a lot. And really I should support using the whole buffalo treatment, but I just can't.
