It has never really went away. Check the news and you can see news stories about employees at anatomy schools and funeral homes who were engaged in the illicit sale of bodies and body parts for a variety of purposes.

I am a former funeral director who has had some professional experience with medical donations so I still find it all very interesting even though I have long since left the industry.

An interesting sounding topic, but the writing style is a little tedious, IMHO.
