> The exemption for celebrities is especially troublesome. When I saw that one, it became clear the companies involved in this know they are operating on shaky ground. There is a perfectly valid concern of rich/eccentric/stalky people paying a lot of money to be fitted with bodyparts of their idol. I get that. But even then the primary motivator can only be pre-emptive avoidance of PR backlash. Harvesting cadavers for big profits feels creepy enough. But just imagine the media storm if a celebrity's family goes on national TV, complaining how their plans for open-coffin funeral were ruined because the national treasure's body had been taken apart and sold for very high-value scrap. Possibly (and quite literally) even before the corpse had got cold. Optics are important. Checks the price of cornea.
