Ethics & 3D printing Pompeii bodies

[richsc]

I admit I saw this first on FB RAT as a new example of using technology to allow more people to see something like museum artifacts, and show curators that they ought to allow their collections to be digitized. Jasper spoke right up and questioned the ethics of printing corpses. More chimed in. I know from my time there that the Smithsonian has hundreds if not thousands of individuals in bone cases, and some on display. Is displaying the dead legitimate or goulish? Think of those two well preserved 17th C bodies dug up recently.
