Wtf is this crap from? We have too many bodies donated for science. So much that we can't use them all a few years back.

Good for med students though. Never short on corpses to practice on! Fr. Some students got kicked from uni for desecrating a corpse. They took out the intestines, made a lassoo from it and tried to swing it around.

Some bodies get sold for other forms of testing too…there was a scandal in the USA a while back.
