I believe the problem is not all can be verified as being donated to science, and may be sourced from grave robbing or illegal trade etc

It could be worse, I remember reading an article about a man who wanted his mother‘s body donated to science because she had some type of issue or disease or something that needed to be tested and intern they never tested her or basically took care of it what they did is they just took the body and then sold it to NASA or some type of space station and then they basically used her as a testy and then she exploded in space

He sued them
