Abstract

Abstract Sir: We read with interest the article by Drs. A. K. Huxley and M. Finnegan: “Human Remains Sold to the Highest Bidder,” in the Journal of Forensic Sciences, Jan. 2004. We would like to offer some additional observations concerning sale of human skeletal remains, related items and services on the Internet, and through other sources.
