This may be a controversial post because it strays from the exploitation of non-human animals, but this is a story about human bodies being sold and used without their prior consent, which to me speaks to a similar (albeit more severe) indignity that non-human animals face in the medical industry. That is to say “this isn’t vegan”. Feel free to downvote this post heavily and say as much in the comments if you feel this isn’t on-topic for this community, as I know there are plenty of other places that will address this with an appropriate level of appallment.
I am not sure about exact definitions.
But afaik vegans dont finance or encourage animal “use”. Like buying, buying for a lower price, eating in front of other people thus normalizing it etc.
This doesnt apply at all in this case. There are no people (well, anymore) killing others to get medicinal corpses. So you dont normalize anything and you also dont fuel any market.
I mean, we have laws for that. On a free market this could increase the demand and people could start killing people to sell them.
nor participate
If you participate, you encourage.
so you can see that it is not vegan
Did you read my comment? (The one above)
yea. it seems like you are holding two contradictory ideas at once. I hope you can resolve that
Mind to elaborate?
