The practice has never really stopped.

Human Growth Hormone, (HGH) was actually supplied from the pituitary glands of the dead 'till a synthetic version became available and safer.

Organ donation anyone? How's that term for Orwellian, when you could easily replace the word "donate" with "take"?

What about placenta hair conditioner? Bet I could still find some of that on store shelves somewhere.

I guess even breast-feeding but maybe not, I don't know the exact definition (if the source must be deceased for it to be considered cannibalism)?

Yeah I get the "superstition" part, and how more recent and current history's use-of cadavers has what some would consider "logical" and relevant use/(need?), but I cannot think of any time in human history that cannibalism has not been practiced.

Yeah, I'm not sure but thought that if you were killed in an accident they just helped themselves to all your body bits. They don't ask.
