        Yeah the system thats relevant for the article linked. Donating your body to science. What’s more it’s straightforwardly something that can be fixed. People having their bodies be used in ways that they did not consent to based on a deceptive system.

        Donating your body for organ transplantation is unquestionably a moral good. Even with individual or even systemic problems.

          People can always question morality because it’s arbitrary. What is unquestionable is that there is overall social benefit as a result of saving lives and improving health.
