American Television Crime Shows.

Why are they happy to show bodies half way through the process of being autopsied, innards everywhere, yet always have them draped to preserve their modesty?

[whiskeryron]

Becase you are allowed to see guts but not d.icks & f.annies

[wolf63]

That's the rules.

I like CSI and NCIS, I am also watching true life murders on Youtube. I can't imagine how someone could kill family members for money.

But if I die suddenly check AB member Andrew1707 first coz he is getting most of my estate - the cats get the rest.

Andrew will scram you to death if he's been watching his CSI.

Can a corpse even be said to have modesty?

[Baldric]

I think respect may come into it quiz.

[Quizmonster]

Absolutely, Baldric. I wasn't suggesting that the naked dead should be put on open display in any circumstances, only quibbling about the word, 'modesty'. Cheers

[sandyRoe]

I agree 'modesty' wasn't the best choice of word. Decorum might have been better.

They could hardly carry out an autopsy while the body was draped.
