And then - unbelievably - there is a link for buying it for "89 cents at Amazon.com".
At Amazon they're selling one man's last words of despair. And linking to that you are even advertising this. The whole thing is sick and sad.
The market is everywhere, and your emotion is misplaced.
Besides, this display of dead people similar to one in Palermo/Italy is macabre and mentally healthy people probably have emotions looking at dead people exhibitions, especially since one doesn't learn anything of it.

I agree that the sale is in bad taste, but I think you go too far there. At the least some people find value in humbling reminders of our own mortality. In that way it is not entirely dissimilar from guided tours of battlefields, camps, etc. The information that you learn during those can be picked up in more 'sterile' books, but that lacks the emotional impact of actually seeing where something happened, or hearing something happen.
I would differantiate between battlefields and staging dead bodies.
To me the categorical imperativ helps evaluating those situations. Do you want your dead body being kept around as attraction?
If those poor souls didn't freely agree than we don't know their will, so no.
It is similar to keep a real skull around for the giggles, lack of respect.
Intentional? I doubt it.
Something they'd fix, if it were pointed out to them? I'd like to think so.
Why don't you write them a note, instead of offering your opinions here?
And it was published in 1998, when it would've been hard to find on the internet. That it's selling on Amazon is just part of a trend that most old media is sold cheaply on Amazon.
It has, in fact, been taken offline. (Along with the whole collection of "sound effects".)
