Peter Hobson - Part 1

Peter Hobson (studying biomedical engineering at the University of Toronto) is invited to complete some of his forty-hour course requirement during a “dissection” of a dead person. The doctor amazes Peter. He looks at the patient, and before he was “picked apart” his pulse rate began to rise, and he seemed to grimace in pain as they made the opening incision. At that point, Myolock, a muscle relaxant was put into the body. When they continued with the incision, the patient’s leg flexed, causing Peter to believe that he was still alive, although the doctor said it was normal. After all the cutting was over, the man had no internal organs, and now met Peter’s definition of dead. He began to search for what “legally dead” means with his girlfriend, Cathy Churchill.

My Opinion: Starting the book in an operating room sets a dark atmosphere for the whole book. However, once Cathy enters, it seems that the author tried to offset Peter’s sadness of the operation with his joy in being with Cathy. However, Peter is truly shaken by the whole operation.

Cathy lost her passion for chemistry.
