  1. “it does mention that Maclean shipped human skin to a man in Pennsylvania “and engaged in his services to tan the skin to create leather.”

    …hmm, that rings a historical bell…

    “Ilse Koch, “the Bitch of Buchenwald.” There was testimony at Nuremburg. Survivors said she had things made of Jewish people, especially their skin, and that she liked tattoos.”

  2. “Hey, Cedric! Gimme a hand, bro.”
    “That’ll be $275.”
    “That’s steep, man. Why you charging me an arm and a leg?”

  3. The people who chop up bodies are sick. This is not natural for someone to dissect a human. You really believe they don’t have sick sexual fantasies? I have it in writing not to donate me to “science.”

  4. Anonymous, it depends on why they are dissecting bodies.

    There is actual science that can be done with body parts. My wife’s family donated their father’s brain to an organization specializing in the condition he died from, which increased their understanding of the rare condition he had.

    Those that do this for pure monetary gain (or whatever they consider ‘pleasure’) should be given the same treatment as their deceased subjects received.
