Rose Marie Bentley lived for 99 years with organs in all the wrong places

(CNN) — On an early spring day in 2018, the faint smell of formaldehyde floating in the air, 26-year-old medical student Warren Nielsen and four of his classmates prepped a cadaver in the chilly dissection lab at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. To honor and respect the privacy of those who offer their bodies to science, no further details are given medical students about the person who had once inhabited the body lying on the silvery slab before them. But as the students and their professors were soon to find out, Bentley was special, so special she deserved her own unique spot in medical literature and history books.
