So I have a question about what the body looks like after the eyes are removed. I once asked my father if he was an organ donor and he said he was against it quite seriously. My grandfather died in his sleep at home (so I was told) and my father was asked if he would like to donate my grandfather's corneas. My father said to me with a pained look on his face "we did a viewing and it looked like somebody had beat the shit out of him, Owlett5, I'll never forgive myself for letting that happen to him"
What he said and the look he gave me haunts me whenever I hear about eye donation. Is what he told me true? I am a donor myself, but I wish I could prove to my dad that the last thing he did with his father was save someone else's vision, not desecrate my grandfather's corpse.
