What I'm curious about is how are people getting these items to sell... sounds like all kinds of really sketchy circumstances. In a lab or academy is one thing. People donate for those kinds of things. If I had found out somebody at a hospital had sold my kids trachea as an amusement piece for someone's table, heads would roll. I'm thinking that there is probably some small print somewhere on the donation paper work where you might be signing it off for whatever they want. Typically it's actually in very large print. This really isn't the kind of thing you can get away with tricking people into if you care even a tiny bit about your professional reputation and relationships. Or rather, it isn't anymore... things have been different in various ways at various points in the past. Which BTW gives me reasonable cause to link one of my favorite YouTube channels, Ask A Mortician! She has a lot of really great edutainment videos about what happens to and is done with people after we die. The ongoing series on iconic corpses from history is amazing! One particularly topical video in this case might be the one about The Punished Suicide, a rather extreme historical example of what we're talking about here...

And apparently everyone at the time, including her own family, fully approved of and were impressed by that... uh... piece of work, let's say.

Damn, that's pretty f****d up. Poor girl commits suicide, then has her remains turned into a spectacle for people to gawk at. Just goes to show how different ideas about ethics and such were only one hundred and fifty years ago or so. Hell, public executions were a social event in those days. And even as recently as WWII, American soldiers were sending Japanese soldier's skulls back home to their girlfriends. Then there's the ears of Vietnamese brought back from the war as mementos as late as the 1960s. Times have changed, but only recently, and only in certain parts of the world.
