Were these plastic with no real parts originating from live humans, fine, but this is just wrong on so many levels.
Why? He's not grave-robbing; the parts are legally obtained. The people the parts come from weren't clubbed in a dark alley and dragged off to be vivisected.
Better to use it for educational purposes than to let it rot away in a stupid casket underground.
His father was a Nazi SS officer. That may explain a bit.
