Absolutely disgusting. What kind of professional doesn't check the origin of what is being bought? These are HUMAN remains, is she that desensitized to human life? Okay, they're dead but still, people should still have a say in what happens to them after life and none of these poor souls consented to be stolen and profited of, TWICE.

In my opinion, she knew what she was doing and where it came from. Throw the book at her.

my father donated his body to Wayne State's medical school in Detroit when he died in late 2021, and his body was used to "teach" (they call the bodies teachers) over 100 medical students. On June 1, (2 weeks ago) there was a ceremony to inter the remains of him and 299 other people who also donated their bodies to science. What an absolute horror to read this right now, even though it happens regularly I bet.

“Christine wanted other people to benefit from her passing so that she could be studied. So that the doctors of the future or tomorrow could study her body and find not only a cure for pancreatic cancer but for some other, you know, disease,” said Hill. “And we as family members gave her body to Harvard thinking that she was in the best hands possible.”

Hill is the next of kin for her aunt and says she called the Harvard Program’s 24-hour hotline Wednesday night and was told he aunt’s name was listed on the “Potentially Affected List.”

There would be zero problems if they were doing it by the book and legally. This is legal, you can buy and sell human bones. The thing is, they stole. Bones and organs. That is so disgusting. They were people, they didn't consent to that.

I have 2 relatives who donated their bodies to Harvard Medical School. Their bodies were donated in 1992 and 1994, so hopefully they are not affected. Cedric Lodge was apparently hired as the mortuary manager in 1995. I am very upset about this.
