End of Life Decisions & The Funeral Process
END OF LIFE DECISIONS: ADVANCED
DIRECTIVES
Part 1
Advance Directives
• Documents that specify the type of health
care an individual wishes to receive should
that individual not be in a position to express
his or her wishes in a critical situation
• Living Will (introduced in 1968)
• Self-Determination Act (state legislation started in
1976 in California)
• Established health care proxies and durable power of
attorney clauses
Patient Informed Consent
• The legal right to refuse treatment
• Patients must be given adequate information
regarding:
• Nature of the proposed treatment
• Probabilities of success
• Possible side-effects
• Other treatment options (and no-treatment option)
Living Will
• Advantages
• First advance directive
• Empowered individuals to make their choices known
• Brought private, public, and professional awareness
to end-of-life issues and decisions
• Disadvantages
• Can be ambiguous in interpretation
• Doesn’t include provisions for assisted death
• May not be available to medical care providers when
needed
The Patient Self Determination Act
• Started in California in 1976; now laws passed in every
state
• Recognizes a mentally competent adult’s right to refuse
life support procedures
• Patients were given the right to designate a person who
would see that the advance directive is respected if they
were unable to act in their own behalf
• Designated person = a health proxy
• Responsibility give the health proxy is durable power of attorney
for health care
Facts about Advance Directives
(Sabatino, 2005)
• They are legal in every state
• One that is legal in one state is generally legal in all states
• Can change the wording of preprinted forms
• A lawyer is not required to make it a legal document
• It doesn’t restrict treatment efforts within accepted medical
standards; allows for pain control and comfort care
• Health care providers are legally obligated to follow it
A Right Not to Die?
The Cryonics Alternative
• Available since 1967
• Choosing to have your certified dead body
placed in a hypothermic (frozen) condition for
the possibility of resuscitation at a later time
• No attempts have been made (yet) to
resuscitate from a cryonic state
• First person to chose a cryonic alternative
was a psychologist, Dr. James H. Bedford
The Cryonics Alternative:
Three Purposes or Visions
• Restoring a “dead” person to continue his/her
life where it had left off (perhaps with a cure to
their terminal illness)
• Equipping the reanimated with a body that will
be resistant to aging and other forces of
mortality
• Reanimating the brain so that it may grow a new
body in the .
Module 5 Euthanasia, Physician Assisted Suicide and The Righ.docxkendalfarrier
This document discusses euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and the right to die movement. It defines key terms, outlines religious views on the topics, and summarizes several prominent right-to-die cases in the US including Karen Ann Quinlan, Nancy Cruzan, and Terri Schiavo. The document also discusses objections from the medical community to assisted suicide, Dr. Kevorkian's approach, policies on assisted death in the Netherlands and Oregon, and the current status of these issues in the US.
This document summarizes key information about human organ transplantation. It discusses the first heart transplant by Dr. Barnard in 1967 (the patient lived 18 days). It describes types of transplants and criteria for donor death. Quality of life has improved for recipients with drugs like cyclosporine, though living donors face risks. There is a shortage of organs, leading to debates around creating a market for organs or using presumed consent to increase donations. Concerns include exploiting vulnerable groups and treating people as a means rather than ends.
This document discusses abortion and euthanasia from a Christian perspective. It provides statistics on abortion in the US, summarizes the history of abortion laws and court cases, describes different abortion methods, and examines arguments for why abortion is wrong from a biblical standpoint. The document also defines euthanasia, outlines pressures for its legalization, and discusses arguments against euthanasia, noting that human life is sacred and death remains under God's sovereign control for Christians.
This document discusses various sociocultural, legal, medical, and ethical perspectives on death. It addresses definitions of death, views of death across cultures and within cultures, legal and medical criteria for determining death, and issues around end of life decisions including euthanasia, advance directives, theories of grief and dying, death anxiety, hospice care, and grieving.
The term “euthanasia” is derived from Greek, literally meaning “good death”. Taken in its common usage however, euthanasia refers to the termination of a person’s life, to end their suffering, usually from an incurable or terminal condition. It is for this reason that euthanasia was also coined the name “mercy killing”.
Acts of euthanasia are further categorised as “voluntary”, “involuntary” and “non-voluntary.” Voluntary euthanasia refers to euthanasia performed at the request of the patient. Involuntary euthanasia is the term used to describe the situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient does not request it, with the intent of relieving their suffering – which, in effect, amounts to murder. Non-voluntary euthanasia relates to a situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient is incapable of consenting. The term that is relevant to the euthanasia debate is “active voluntary euthanasia”, which collectively refers to the deliberate act to end an incurable or terminally ill patient’s life, usually through the administration of lethal drugs at his or her request. The main difference between active voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide is that in assisted suicide and physician-assisted suicide, the patient performs the killing act. Assisted suicide is when a person intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to terminate his or her life. Physician-assisted suicide refers to a situation where a physician intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to end his or her life, for example, by the provision of information and drugs.
Organ donation involves removing organs or tissues from deceased or living donors for transplantation into other individuals. Key organs that can be donated include the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Legislation regarding organ donation varies by country, with some requiring explicit consent from donors and others assuming consent unless the donor explicitly dissents. There are ongoing ethical debates around issues such as defining death, ensuring informed consent, preventing financial exploitation of living donors, and addressing shortages in organ supply.
Culturosity — Cultural Awareness in End-of-Life CareVITAS Healthcare
This document provides information about Culturosity, a program aimed at increasing cultural awareness in end-of-life care. It defines key terms like awareness, sensitivity, and competence. It then describes the cultural perspectives, values, spiritual beliefs, and practices around death and dying of four American cultures - African Americans, Haitian Americans, and four Asian American subcultures (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese). The goal is to help ensure culturally appropriate care for patients and families at end of life from different cultural backgrounds.

Hoarding is a reality that impacts a realtor’s listing and sale of property. This overview seeks to provide insight into this often misunderstood mental health condition, and provide practical solutions that realtors can use when encountering a hoarder owned property.
This document discusses definitions of death, ethical issues surrounding end of life care, and personal aspects of thinking about death. It defines clinical death, whole brain death, and persistent vegetative state from a legal and medical perspective. Ethical issues discussed include euthanasia, assisted suicide laws, advance directives, do not resuscitate orders, and the high costs of life-sustaining care. Case studies on Nancy Cruzan and Terri Schiavo are provided. Developmental views of how people think about death across the lifespan and Kübler-Ross's five stages of grief are also summarized.
This document discusses euthanasia, including its history, types, legality in different places, and religious views. It defines euthanasia as intentionally ending a life to relieve suffering and outlines types like passive vs. active and voluntary vs. involuntary. The document also summarizes several notable euthanasia cases and concludes by stating that while most religions oppose euthanasia, views vary significantly in different faiths and countries have different laws regarding its legalization.
Religion and medicine have historically gone hand in hand, but increasingly have come into conflict in the U.S. as health care has become both more secular and more heavily regulated. Law has a dual role here, simultaneously generating conflict between religion and health care, for example through new coverage mandates or legally permissible medical interventions that violate religious norms, while also acting as a tool for religious accommodation and protection of conscience.
This conference identified the various ways in which law intersects with religion and health care in the United States, examined the role of law in creating or mediating conflict between religion and health care, and explored potential legal solutions to allow religion and health care to simultaneously flourish in a culturally diverse nation.
One organ donor can save up to 8 lives. Organ donation involves removing organs or tissues from a live or recently deceased person for transplantation into another person. There is a shortage of organs for donation due to factors like family consent issues, religious and cultural beliefs, and lack of awareness. Both living and deceased donors can donate organs and tissues. Organ allocation is based on blood type compatibility, medical urgency, and waitlist time.
The document provides information about euthanasia, including:
- Euthanasia involves intentionally ending a life to relieve suffering, and can be active (e.g. lethal injection) or passive (e.g. withdrawing life support).
- It outlines different types like voluntary (patient consent), involuntary (without patient consent), and assisted suicide (patient self-administers lethal drugs with help).
- Laws about euthanasia vary globally, with some countries and US states legally allowing it under specific conditions like terminal illness and consent. Most religions disapprove due to beliefs that only God can end a life.
- Two cases discussed are Gloria Taylor, who fought for the right to
This document discusses organ donations and transplants. It covers the organ transplant process and wait times, which range from 113 days for a heart to over 1,000 days for a kidney. It also discusses the history of organ transplants, pros and cons, and statistics. Key facts include that a deceased donor can save up to 8 lives and 90% of Americans support donation but only 30% know donation steps.
Organ donation is the removal of the tissues of the human body from a person who has recently died, or from a living donor, for the purpose of transplanting.
This document discusses death and dying from various perspectives. It begins by defining thanatology as the study of death and examines biological, psychological, and social aspects of death. It then discusses how views of death change across the lifespan from youth to older adulthood. Existential theories about finding meaning in life and accepting mortality are also covered. The document distinguishes between death and dying and discusses death from biological and broader perspectives. It outlines causes of death at different life stages and issues around determining death. Finally, it examines cultural variations in grieving and rituals and compares beliefs and practices among major world religions.
Organ donation is ethically and morally acceptance compared to organ harvesting which is non ethic.
donating an organs for saving a human life is ok, and acceptance but to donate your organs for economics is bad because you didn't have a grantee that your organs may save till you dying.

This document discusses the ethics of organ transplantation. It provides background on the history and types of organ transplants, as well as the World Health Organization's guiding principles on transplantation. Some key ethical issues discussed include how to allocate scarce organ resources fairly, whether organ markets should be allowed, and whether living donors should be compensated. Overall, the document examines the complex ethical considerations surrounding this medical procedure.
Euthanasia refers to the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable disease or condition. It aims to prevent prolonged suffering and can be voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. It is currently legal in some locations like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Oregon, Washington, and Montana under certain conditions like being terminally ill with less than six months to live. While it remains controversial, proponents argue that as humans we should be able to choose how we die if incurably ill just as we can choose how to live.
This document provides an overview of American funeral traditions throughout history. It discusses how early American colonists and settlers handled death and funerals as family affairs in the home. During the Victorian era, death was highly ritualized, with elaborate mourning practices and home funerals. The modern American funeral industry emerged in the late 19th/early 20th century, professionalizing and removing death from the home. However, home funerals are now making a resurgence as people seek more control and personalization over end-of-life practices.

Discuss how a successful organization should have the following layers of security in place for the protection of its operations: information security management, data security, and network security.
Multiple Layers of Security
Marlowe Rooks posted Mar 13, 2020 9:54 AM
Looking at Vacca”s book chapter 1, “Information security management as a field is ever increasing in demand and responsibility because most organizations spend increasingly larger percentages of their IT budgets in attempting to manage risk and mitigate intrusions, not to mention the trend in many enterprises of moving all IT operations to an Internet-connected infrastructure, known as enterprise cloud computing (John R. Vacca, 2014)”. It is the organization responsibility to protect its business and its client information at all times. With that said I’m going to break down why companies need to have multiple layers of security and what types they should implement below.
The first layer is Information security management which can be from Physical Security, or Personnel Security. Physical Security can range from physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized access and misuse. Personnel Security is to protect the individual or group of individuals who are authorized to access the organization and its operations. Some of the reason to implement Information Security is as follow:
· Decrease in downtime of IT systems
· Decrease in security related incidents
· Increase in meeting an organization's compliance requirements and standards
· Increase in customer satisfaction, demonstrating that security issues are tackled in the most appropriate manner
· Increase in quality of service
· Process approach adoption, which helps account for all legal and regulatory requirements
· More easily identifiable and managed risks
· Also covers information security (IS) (in addition to IT information security)
· Provides a competitive edge to an organization with the help of tackling risks and managing resources/processes
The second layer would be Data Security which can be refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its lifecycle. Data security includes data encryption, tokenization, and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. Some of the reason to implement Data Security is as follow:
· Cloud access security – Protection platform that allows you to move to the cloud securely while protecting data in cloud applications.
· Data encryption – Data-centric and tokenization security solutions that protect data across enterprise, cloud, mobile and big data environments.
· Web Browser Security - Protects sensitive data captured at the browser, from the point the customer enters cardholder or personal data, and keeps it protected through the ecosystem to the trusted host destination.
· Mobile App Security - Protecting sensitive data in native mobile apps while safeguarding the data end-to-end.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Module 4
End of Life Decisions & The Funeral Process
END OF LIFE DECISIONS: ADVANCED
DIRECTIVES
Part 1
Advance Directives
• Documents that specify the type of health
care an individual wishes to receive should
that individual not be in a position to express
his or her wishes in a critical situation
• Living Will (introduced in 1968)
• Self-Determination Act (state legislation started in
1976 in California)
• Established health care proxies and durable power of
2. attorney clauses
Patient Informed Consent
• The legal right to refuse treatment
• Patients must be given adequate information
regarding:
• Nature of the proposed treatment
• Probabilities of success
• Possible side-effects
• Other treatment options (and no-treatment option)
Living Will
• Advantages
• First advance directive
• Empowered individuals to make their choices known
• Brought private, public, and professional awareness
to end-of-life issues and decisions
• Disadvantages
• Can be ambiguous in interpretation
• Doesn’t include provisions for assisted death
• May not be available to medical care providers when
needed
3. The Patient Self Determination Act
• Started in California in 1976; now laws passed in every
state
• Recognizes a mentally competent adult’s right to refuse
life support procedures
• Patients were given the right to designate a person who
would see that the advance directive is respected if they
were unable to act in their own behalf
• Designated person = a health proxy
• Responsibility give the health proxy is durable power of
attorney
for health care
Facts about Advance Directives
(Sabatino, 2005)
• They are legal in every state
• One that is legal in one state is generally legal in all states
• Can change the wording of preprinted forms
4. • A lawyer is not required to make it a legal document
• It doesn’t restrict treatment efforts within accepted medical
standards; allows for pain control and comfort care
• Health care providers are legally obligated to follow it
A Right Not to Die?
The Cryonics Alternative
• Available since 1967
• Choosing to have your certified dead body
placed in a hypothermic (frozen) condition for
the possibility of resuscitation at a later time
• No attempts have been made (yet) to
resuscitate from a cryonic state
• First person to chose a cryonic alternative
was a psychologist, Dr. James H. Bedford
The Cryonics Alternative:
Three Purposes or Visions
• Restoring a “dead” person to continue his/her
5. life where it had left off (perhaps with a cure to
their terminal illness)
• Equipping the reanimated with a body that will
be resistant to aging and other forces of
mortality
• Reanimating the brain so that it may grow a new
body in the future
Cryonics: Radical New Developments
• Neural Preservation (head only) has replaced
whole-body
• Focus is on brain preservation
• A body can be regenerated from neural DNA
• The cooled tissues are vitrified (transformed
to a stone-like substance)
• Replaces water inside cells with antifreeze
compounds
• Temperature is dropped to -130 degrees Celsius
• Flesh turns into a form of glass
Organ Donation
7. Module 4: Part 3
Funeral-Related Decisions
• Funeral homes are required to provide a price
list
• Do thorough comparison shopping
• Be aware of additional charges for additional
services and products
• Do not hesitate to inquire about simple and
immediate burials or about cremation
• The most expensive item in a traditional funeral
is the casket
• Use good judgment to resist services or
products that your family really doesn’t want
From Dead Body to Living Memory:
A Process Approach
• Premortem Preparations may include:
• Financial and employment matters
• Funeral arrangements
• Attention to personal relationships
• Immediate Postdeath Activities
8. • Certification by a physician
• Contact relatives and friends
• Cleanse and wrap the body
From Dead Body to Living Memory:
A Process Approach
• Preparation for Burial or Cremation
• Allows for friends and relatives to gather
• Funeral arrangements must be make
• Insurance companies consulted
• Other financial arrangements made
• Allows time for embalming, mummification, or
whatever means the culture uses to preserve bodies
• Death must by certified by a physician
• Death certificate records are often missing potentially
important information
From Dead Body to Living Memory:
A Process Approach
• The medical examiner (coroner) reviews the case
• Autopsy needed?
• Death investigator (medical specialist) needed?
9. • May involve an Autopsy
• Performed by the coroner or medical examiner
• Requires permission from the next of kin
• Sometimes needed to understand a condition that
poses a threat to the community
• Sometimes there is suspicion of negligence, error, or
homicide
From Dead Body to Living Memory:
A Process Approach
• Settling into the Earth
• Most Americans are placed horizontally on their back
• Most common is fetal position (to sleep or be reborn)
• Cremation
• Preferred by most ancient cultures (except Egyptians)
• Opposed by Christianity until the Reformation by Luther
• Some concern today over toxic gas emissions
• Utilized in the U.S. about 25% of the time, 63% of the time
in Europe, and 95% of the time in Japan
• Rare in Islamic counties, Israel, and sub-Saharan Africa
From Dead Body to Living Memory:
A Process Approach
• The Funeral Service
10. • Held for whole body burials and cremations
• Many decisions to be made in designing the
ceremony
• Serves two purposes
• Final placement of the remains
• Public recognition of the death
• Memorializing the Deceased
• Obituaries
• Grave markers
• Personal rituals, prayers, gifts, sacrifices
What Does the
Funeral Process Accomplish?
• Create or solidify the place of a hero
• Ch’in, 1st Emperor of China, built a palace as a burial
tomb to support his claims to greatness and
immortality, secure succession, confound enemies,
and impress deities
• Queen Victoria created an elaborate funeral for Prince
Albert that symbolically incorporated him into the
British Empire and demonstrated the Victorian
sentiment
• Lenin’s corpse was placed in a grand mausoleum as
a “patron saint,” even though he had no use for
religion
11. What Does the
Funeral Process Accomplish?
• Balance the claims of the living and dead
• In Potamia, northern Greece, villagers (mostly the
women) tend temporary graves for 5 years, then
bones are transferred to the bone house
• The survivors are obligated to tend the graves
• Kotas, southern India, cremate the dead and carry out
two funerals, Green and Dry, for purification
• Orthodox Jews have a special time called Aninut,
devoted to honoring the dead and reflecting on the
loss
Cemeteries in the United States
• Colonial times
• Dead buried in churchyards or city cemeteries
• Quickly became crowded and chaotic
• 1796, New Haven Burying Ground
• Better planned; the first to offer “family plots”
• Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, MA
12. • Introduced landscaped, park-like atmosphere
• National Cemetery System for veterans
• President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address (November
11, 1863) was given to dedicate the first national
cemetery
Cemeteries in the United States
• Neighborhood Cemeteries
• Still active though some are in the midst of urban
decay
• Examples of Ethnic Cemeteries
• Afro-American Section, The Common Burying
Ground, Newport, Rhode Island
• Navajo and Mormon companions at the Ramah
Cemetery, Ramah, New Mexico
• Mexican-Americans in San Antonio’s San Fernando
Cemetery
When Are the Dead
13. Important to the Living?
• The dead are more secure in past-oriented societies
• Future-oriented societies may look to technology
rather than wisdom and achievements of the past
• Geographical detachment from the dead will cause
distress to the living, especially in past-oriented societies
• Also disrupts their sense of tradition and culture
• The dead will be remembered and “used” more often in
societies in which children are highly valued as
continuing the family soul over the gap created by death
When Are the Dead
Important to the Living?
• Longer life expectancy and low vested power of the
elderly make the dead less important
• More people are older (not unusual) and have fewer
resources
• A society lacking unifying and transcending themes will
assimilate the funeral and memorialization process into
its utilitarian motives
• Dead may live on through organ donation rather than
memories, tradition, or social identity because of the
emphasis on function
• Societies that live close to nature need the assistance of
14. the dead to promote fertility and regeneration
Recent American Memorials
• Vietnam Veterans Memorial
• Black stone suggests mourning and reflection
• Names are given in order of their deaths while rank,
unit, and home state were ignored
• Many people bring items to leave at the memorial
• World War II Memorial
• Built after the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
• Took many years of advocacy and private fundraising
• Dedicated in 2004
Recent American Memorials
• World Trade Center Memorial
• Memorials have been established at the Pentagon
and in rural Pennsylvania
• Much discussion and controversy of the purpose and
design of the NYC memorial
• Oklahoma City National Memorial
• Includes a chair in remembrance of all who died
• Includes a museum that charts the chain of events
15. and honors each individual who died with a personal
object
• Includes an education and outreach service
The Treatment of Human Remains: The
Vermillion Accord
• Universal respect shall be given to the mortal remains of
the dead
• Disposition of human remains will be made in
accordance with the wishes of the dead themselves
whenever this is known or can be reasonably inferred
• The wishes of the local community will be respected
“whenever possible, reasonable, and lawful”
The Treatment of Human Remains: The
Vermillion Accord
• The scientific value of studying human remains will be
respected whenever such value can be demonstrated to
exist
16. • Negotiations with an attitude of mutual respect shall be
conducted to accommodate both the legitimate concerns
of communities for the proper disposition of their
ancestors and the legitimate concerns of science and
education
Challenges and Developments:
The Funeral Director’s Perspective
• Directors must pass licensure exams and be
knowledgeable in anatomy, chemistry, restorative art,
pathology, business, accounting, and some law
• More women are becoming funeral directors
• Funeral homes must give full price disclosure
• Must get written consents for embalming
• Typical service
• 20 to 40 minutes
• $6,000-$8,000 cost
• Music prelude, opening prayer, introductory remarks,
words from friends and family, clergy remarks, closing
Alternatives to Traditional Funerals
17. • Memorial Service (less formal, more personal in design)
• Green Funerals
• Buried in biodegradable wrap placed in woodlands or
meadows
• Available U.S., more established in Europe
• Virtual Memorials (on the internet)
• Tell the story of the person’s life (add photographs or
videos)
• Guest book that others can sign
• Most common - children who died of illness
Pre-Funeral Preparations
• Autopsy: Procedure to determine how and
under what circumstances a person die by
examining their body, organs, potential of
toxins in blood.
o Performed in suspicious or unexpected causes of
death
o Not accepted by all religious traditions
o Usually performed by a pathologist
Pre-Funeral Preparations
• Embalming:
18. o Process of preserving the body by removing the
blood and replacing it with embalming fluids
o Slows or halts decomposition.
o Written consent from next of kin is required.
o Conducted by certified embalmers in funeral
homes.
o Required for a body to cross state lines.
o Utilized by about 30% of Americans.
Spontaneous Memorials
• A public, spontaneous response to a death, usually a
violent and unanticipated death
• Usually at the site of the death
• Usually occurs quickly after the death is announced in
the media
• Leave candles, mementoes, cards
• People often stay to reflect on the tragedy, and many will
return several times
• No one is left out, all can participate
Examples of Abuse in the
Funeral Process
• Tri-State Crematory in Georgia dumped 334 bodies
while giving families cement dust instead of ashes
19. • Tulane University’s School of Medicine sold bodies to the
U.S. Army for experiments with landmines
• UCLA Medical School sold cadaver parts to a broker
who sold them to commercial biomedical corporations
• Cadavers used as crash dummies in vehicle studies
• Cases of body harvesting to brokers
• Burial insurance industry overcharging and defrauding
black Americans
