As @ricketson points out, this is a problem that has been tirelessly debated for many years. And it is a multifaceted problem. Some examples (there are, of course, many more):
➡️ MOVE Bombing and the Penn Museum:

➡️ Having a code of ethics:

"Barely one year after we learned that the Penn Museum had the remains of two children murdered in the 1985 MOVE bombing, the University of Pennsylvania tried to quickly and quietly bury the remains of over a dozen other Black Philadelphians whose bones they had kept in the basement of the Penn Museum for decades. Recently, the museum acknowledged that their research showed they actually have the remains of 20 Black Philadelphians in the Morton Cranial Collection."

"The bone of contention: While some of the bodies in the museum come from contemporary donors, many had been acquired in an era before medical consent was codified. In the 19th century, doctors who wanted to learn with real bodies would claim the remains of prisoners, suicide victims, poor people, prostitutes, enslaved people, Native Americans and other underprivileged groups — or they would pay off gravediggers and steal from cemeteries. These are some of the Mütter’s “residents,” as staff members call them."

One of the major #ethical issues raised in #museums is the display of #humanremains. In fact, in many museums these remains have been removed (or are being considered for removal) from galleries accessible to visitors. But another ethical problem to consider is that of #photographs of human remains. ⬇️

Only going back 10 years today, to Hythe in Kent, where a certain church is considered a little out of the ordinary.
There is a graveyard, and there are people buried in it, but there's an awful lot more who aren't, buried that is.
If you want to see more from this fascinating place please let me know. 👻

It was a long road but I’m so glad it was finally used the way Tchaikowsky wanted it to be.
(Yes, this is old news. I just found out about it).
