      in my work- sometimes.

      Working with human tissue samples can be a little gross.
      All tissue is donated voluntarily by people who have had operations (i.e. mastectomies, which is surgery to remove breast cancer) and has to go through lots of people who check we are doing everything ethically. We need to test our methods on real tissue to check they work, but sometimes i do get a bit freaked out when I think I am working with a bit of a person.
