They are selling heads, different parts for some side gig. Donate your body to medical science? Just think someones head has been purchased. How much is a head?

The article is from June, someone posted it back then.

Well, it wasn't Harvard but an employee of Harvard doing this 'on the sly' that is now facing criminal charges.


Its somewhat morbid, amoral and disrespectful. Hopefully the perps and those they dealt with pay a penalty.


I have considered donating my corpse. There is a traditional "Y" incision on the chest done for autopsies. I considered a dashed line tattoo in a "Y" on my chest with the words "Cut here" as one last practical joke.

This sounds like my husband's joke that if he ever got a tattoo, it would be one designed to look like an ordinary bruise.

That's a good one!

No reason to blame Harvard for the criminal actions of an employ not following policy and procedure.

Harvard hired the sicko so it may as well be Harvard. They chose him over other applicants for a reason. What was the reason(s) I'd like to know. I'm about positive it's on the lines of "diversity" at the university.

From the photo, it was a middle age white woman. Its dark enough already without making it darker for no reason.

Are you actually saying that Blacks and other minorities are not qualified for jobs? That's what your statement sounds like.

They obviously hired her over other applicants for a reason. Yes? What was the hiring criteria that she obviously met? So far I'm hearing from posters that it was a white woman. What else besides a white woman as part of the criteria? Multicolor hair? Unicorn handbag? Pre-millennium, most, if not all applications listed "White/Hispanic" as one race on the application. Or was it that they liked what she had posted all throughout her social media (FB, TikTok, etc). Just as important as this story itself is why the university decided/chose to hire her for the job over all other applicants. No straight, educated, experienced, and possibly religious, white guys applied?

Are you now saying that only straight white educated guys are qualified for most jobs? Harvard is unlikely to make all of the applications available for our perusal, so let's just assume she was the most qualified for the job based on Harvard's criteria, whatever those might be. Keep in mind that just because a straight white guy wasn't hired does not mean that some so called "diversity" decision was made.
