The Black-Market Commodification Of Human Organs And Bones: A Marxist Perspective, Erik Schulz
Nebraska Anthropologist
The trade and treatment of human remains, while seemingly straightforward, have increasingly become subjects of ethical and moral debate.

The objective is to provide contextual understanding and encourage a reevaluation of current practices, particularly within academic settings, to ensure that human morals, dignity and ethical standards are upheld.
