#every time I hear about another Californian university hoarding body parts I become more insane and more radicalized

[crippled-peeper]

having your family members or ancestors bones stored at a museum or university to be gawked at by (mostly white) anthropologists for centuries and not even being given the OPTION to lay them to rest or give them dignity is perhaps the complete opposite of the CONSENSUAL and VOLUNTARY process of donating your body to science - to be a cadaver for medical students or to be studied for your medical conditions because that’s what you wanted to happen to your body.

I wish universities and their deans would gain 1 single shred of humility and sympathy and stop holding onto the body parts of marginalized and indigenous people at their schools against families wishes and calling it “science”

#dead people are still people an their families deserve the dignity of putting them in their final resting place wherever that may be #every time I hear about another Californian university hoarding body parts I become more insane and more radicalized #racism #death #abuse
