  4. Beneath the veneer of legitimacy in the organ, tissue, and body part transplantation systems exists a horrifying history of human commodification. The legacy of "grave robbing" lives on today. #transplant #OrganTransplantation #GraveRobbing #Bioethics www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

  5. At what point does #GraveRobbing turn into #archaeology? 🤔

    Asking for a friend.....

  6. @TexasObserver @TheConversationUS The ethics of dissection basically mirrors that of other state institutions in the racist settler colony of USA. But it's just a little more obvious when medical students are commenting on how they were lied to & scarred by the knowledge that they contributed to the symbolic violence of using people's corpses without their consent. Everything happens as if there was an agreement between institutions that these poor, often black people don't matter as much as other people do. Saying #BlackLivesMatter means changing the situation so society and institutions act as if they actually agree with that statement.

    Medical #graverobbing goes far beyond the borders of the USA, as well. My aunt tells me she had a real human skeleton that she took with her on the bus to and from medical school in a case. I just kinda muttered at the Thanksgiving dinner table that the skeleton was probably sold to the broker from somewhere in Asia, as India is one of the countries where historically a lot of medical skeletons came from. I have my doubts as to whether it was acquired ethically. I think, like with cocoa or coltan or other similar products, one has to assume that it wasn't ethical unless proven otherwise.
