The body donation industry is unregulated. There was a whole series of articles about it. They use deliberately misleading language in their contracts so that most people have no idea that their loved one's body may be sold to the military. It's really messed up.
There's a lot of demand for dead bodies. It's a fairly taboo subject but the reality is there's lots of research that is slow or impossible because it's not easy (or cheap) to obtain human bodies to work with.
And sometimes those bodies get blown up in a chair instead lol
