I got to experience a cadaver lab when my wife was taking a gross anatomy course. By the time I visited they were pretty deep into the semester, so the bodies were pretty well cut up. I only saw people being respectful the two times I was there, after hours with only students and no professors around. The smell was terrible, not because of rotting flesh, but because the chemicals. I had more opportunities to visit, but couldn't really get over the smell so would just wait in the hall for my wife. I'm optimistic that I don't experience that many dead bodies again until I am one.
