    That should be a special category of scientific research lol

  2. BudMcLaine says

    A lot of bodies “donated to science” are used for this kind of stuff. They don’t usually let you pick what kind of science they use it for, I guess.

    ”BRC’s owner, Stephen Gore, pleaded guilty…”

    That name made me double check if I was reading the Onion.

    I am totally signing up for that. Or the body farm at Quantico. Nice to have options.

    At least she went out with a bang

    If you donate your body, can you specify that you want this?

    I used to work in organ and tissue donation, and at first I thought that this was a non-story. Bodies donated for science are used for research, and testing how roadside bombs affect physical humans is important research.

    And there is always a consent form. Many people don’t really read or listen to the consent form, so I just figured they agreed without knowing what was possible. So from the headline, I just figured it was business as usual.

    Then I read the article.

    First, they did not consent to research involving explosions.

    Then, this:

    >The donation center is no longer operating. It was raided in 2014 by the FBI following accusations that it was selling donated bodies for profit. It was during the 2014 raid the agents made several horrific discoveries, including a woman’s head sewn onto a male torso, dismembered limbs and heads strewn about and a cooler filled with male genitalia.

    This is a horror show, and the people who did this belong in prison.

    Here lies Irma Vale

    Cold and dead

    Or at least

    Lies here her head

    We found her feet

    Over by the tree

    By that stream

    We found a knee

    By that rock

    We found a hand

    Irma is scattered

    Across the land

    Her soul is in heaven

    And it got there fast

    Assisted travel

    By dynamite blast

    But some of Irma

    Still lingers on

    A fine red mist

    Scattered on the lawn

    >BRC’s owner, Stephen Gore, pleaded guilty to illegal control of an enterprise in 2015 and is currently serving probation.

    Guy’s name is “Gore”.

    The simulation is getting lazy.

  12. MelbaToast604 says

    I mean I would sign up for this, but would be horrified if it was done without me explicitly stating so

  13. Tha_Watcher says

    This is an extremely notable fact from the article:

    >According to Reuters, at least 20 bodies donated to BRC were sold off to the army for blast experiments without their family’s consent. The bodies were sold for around $5,893 each.

    It would be far better if the families of the deceased were allowed to receive that money.

    this is so disgusting.

    not the blast testing, that is awesome and is what I want my body to be used for after harvesting whatever the alcoholism and cheeseburgers didn’t completely destroy.

    the fact that we aren’t legally allowed to sell our own remains but it’s legal for the military to buy them. why the fuck can’t I get my cut?

    make that shit legal and the rights to my leftovers will be on necrophilic eBay tomorrow.
