The woman claims her late husband was 'treated like a piece of meat in front of a paying audience' (via toofab)
Last month, the traveling expo, which tours across the country, held an event at a hotel ballroom in Portland, where an audience -- who KING 5 reported paid up to $500 per ticket -- viewed a live dissection of Saunders' corpse.
Church Funeral Services' director Mike Clark told the outlet that Saunders' family believed his body was being donated"for the advancement of medical students" and not how it was ultimately used. He also claimed that Med Ed Labs didn't inform him or Saunders' family. Clark said he and his staff were"horrified" of how Saunders' remains were used at the live dissection.
"It makes me really feel saddened that this gentleman was not given the dignity and the respect that he deserved and what he thought and his family thought that would be happening to his body," he said."I was totally horrified. Our whole staff was horrified that this is what had happened to a gentleman that he and his family thought that his body was going for the advancement of medical students.
Saunders' widow also said she was"horrified" that her late husband was"treated like a piece of meat in front of a paying audience."
