"The Passing Temperature: Forensic Notes" is a complete record of the forensic career of Yoo Seong-ho, a professor at the Department of Forensic Medicine at Seoul National University in South Korea, who has been practicing for more than 20 years. The author has conducted more than 1,500 autopsies and understood the truth of life during the autopsy, and has unique thoughts and insights on death and the meaning of life. In this book, the author talks about forensic science from the perspective of humanistic care, introduces basic forensic science knowledge, and discusses many issues about death and life, including euthanasia, death with dignity, life-extending medical treatment, brain death, the possibility of artificial termination of life, the psychology that leads to suicide, and many other sharp issues. Many bizarre cases in the book are also particularly thought-provoking. Corpses do not lie, and forensic doctors unearth the truth buried in lies. This is the "book of life" that everyone must read, and it is also an adult version of a death education book. This book guides readers to think deeply - everyone is mortal, and how do we live towards death.
