*****************************************************************************
Jonah,
Here's a rationalization of the issue of exhibiting human remains, for
your contemplation:
1. Human remains mean nothing to the dead - only to the living.
2. If there's no-one alive who identifies themselves with a specific
human remain, no-one can be diminished by exhibiting it.
3. The contemplation of rituals surrounding human remains is a powerful
thought-provoking and learning experience for most people.
