There is a story in today's Bangkok post related to breast and nipple
anatomy, which is somewhat informative although immensely sad.  Foreign
victims of the tsunami tragedy are being separated from domestic victims and
their bodies shipped from Phangnga's Takua Pa district to Phuket.  Local
villagers are naturally quite concerned that the separation process should
be accurate, as they do not wish bodies of their loved ones to be sent away.
Deciding which are which at this point is the job of a forensic team.  The
doctors' decisions are based on 12 identification criteria, such as skull
shape, facial bone structure, nose bridge, palate description, leg length,
breast and nipple shape on women's bodies and hair colour.

I have noticed some general breast differences between Asian and Western
mothers but had not known the anatomical descriptors could be definitively
applied with such rigor.
