The suspects “stole dissected portions of donated cadavers, including, for example, heads, brains, skin, bones, and other human remains," an indictment says.

    that’s why i like the body farm idea. they leave your corpse out in the elements and let nature take its course so forensics students can study it.

      I like that idea too, but how do you guarantee your corpse goes to a body farm? Honest question.

        I have the same question, especially since the wishes of people who donate their bodies to this-or-that don’t seem to be particularly respected per the article.

          This doesn’t provide an answer, but seems relevant. John Oliver did a piece on the loose nature of “donating my body to science” and also the issues with the current organ donation system in the US.

            John Oliver is a national treasure.
