RE: Grave robbers, cotton mills, true crime make Angie Dicken's "The Yellow Lantern" a must-read
Michel Angelo did the same and so did and do many.
Do you know containers full corpses and parts of it are shipped from the USA to Rotterdam harbour for medical research?
Universities can buy it or rent it. A body or part (head, arm, leg).
There has been many investigations about it. Universities in Europe confirmed it, they order and use it. Rotterdam harbour denies it but they found the containers there.
People in the USA sell or give the body of themselves, family for medical research and those companies promise to pay for the funeral (that fake one there is nothing to...).
Reality is indeed more cruel as one can imagine and that is why the truth been told sounds like a fairy tale.
His chin pushed up his lips into a deeply set frown." Huh?
Huh? indeed I try to study the anatomy of my face, the musculature... I deeply frowned several times to push down my chin without any result.
Actually I hate all these kind of descriptions, this book is a good one for 2 reasons.
- History (it is not history it is present)
- To edit it/learn to edit/find the x mistakes.

You'd think Rotterdam could find bodies without having to import cadavers... but the truth is always stranger than fiction. I once saw a newspaper AP photo of a medic running with an Igloo cooler in hand. Inside was a heart for a transplant patient. It would soon beat again in someone else's body. Real Life: Stranger than Fiction.
These days, U.S. med schools are turning away cadavers, I'm told --due to the growing number of people who want to donate bodies to science in order to save themselves the expense of a funeral!
The Dutch university commented they have way too many people who want to donate to science and turn down most of them. Also said not from here because it is not great to be a doctor or student and see your family or acquaintance in front of you on the cutting table.

In Europe especially, where cemeteries are valuable real estate and plots get re-used... I can see where donating to science is the easier, cheaper route.
