As grotesque and shocking abuses of donor bodies abound, and grief-stricken family members are taken advantage of by unscrupulous body brokers, the need for federal regulation of this process could not be more clear. The Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act will ensure that individuals and families who make the selfless decision to advance scientific research can be certain that their remains, or the remains of their loved ones, will be treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
