Body Snatching

While reading the articles and book on body snatching, I was really creeped out. I can't believe that people were hired to dig bodies out of the group for medical research. Doctors were put on a pedestal and were not punished for their actions. They could steal bodies and use them for operations and never get caught or punished. There were no laws about it for the longest time. Why did it take the government so long to make a law for this and realize that it was wrong? They were more concerned about people stealing the cadaver's jewelry than their bodies, which I think is a way more serious crime. The articles suggested that it was just a part of the time and it was necessary, like Sims. I was shocked with the story about the man that went missing and somehow ended up in the lab as a cadaver, with no effort to contact his family and tell them what had happened. This is an example of how hush hush this area is. No one wants to talk about how the bodies for research get there, just as long as they are. After reading this, I was a little scared to think about what else goes on without anyone knowing.
