<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10206903, member: 23"]Read up on the Harvard University morgue scandal. My father donated his remains supposedly to the medical school for teaching purposes. The morgue attendant who had no oversight was selling remains on the dark web. I got the letter from Harvard that my father's name was on the list of possible stolen remains. There was a class action suit and the judge ruled that since the attendant wasn't working in his capacity as an employee, the University was not liable. Unreal. His job gave him access so they should have been responsible. Jon and I have also donated our eventual remains. I have no qualms about them being used for research or even in a museum, but the idea of someone profiting so ghoulish people can drink blood from my skull is a whole different story. <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/investigations/harvards-morgue-scandal-is-part-of-a-much-larger-story-in-trading-human-remains/3136374/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nbcboston.com/investigations/harvards-morgue-scandal-is-part-of-a-much-larger-story-in-trading-human-remains/3136374/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nbcboston.com/investigations/harvards-morgue-scandal-is-part-of-a-much-larger-story-in-trading-human-remains/3136374/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
