I agree that the sale is in bad taste, but I think you go too far there. At the least some people find value in humbling reminders of our own mortality. In that way it is not entirely dissimilar from guided tours of battlefields, camps, etc. The information that you learn during those can be picked up in more 'sterile' books, but that lacks the emotional impact of actually seeing where something happened, or hearing something happen.
- killerpopiller 13y agoindeed, a confrontation with ones own mortality might help with appreciation of life. I would differantiate between battlefields and staging dead bodies. To me the categorical imperativ helps evaluating those situations. Do you want your dead body being kept around as attraction? If those poor souls didn't freely agree than we don't know their will, so no. It is similar to keep a real skull around for the giggles, lack of respect.
