I recently saw the corpse of my friend's father. It happened by accident - to make a long story short, we were suppoused to check in with the medical examiner to identify the remains, and I ended up participating in it. It was a first time I saw a dead person up close, and I didn't feel anything. I had more of a humbling moment though at mny father's funeral. I didn't see him die, and I didn't see his body, but just the thought of never seeing him again made me fall to pieces. After that, though, I never felt it again, and I'm not shocked to see dead people. I guess it depends on the person how they react (as does anything, really).
