The ethics of displaying human remains as museum objects
I'm writing an article for school about the ethics of displaying human bodies as museum objects and part of my thesis is that the public perception is slowly changing, and displaying mummies, bones, bog bodies etc is becoming something controversial.
With that, I want to know if that is actually true. So I was hoping that you would answer this poll for me. If I get enough votes, I'm going to use the poll in my article, so i hope you'll be willing to answer and reblog to spread it!
What is your opinion on human remains being displayed as museum objects?
I am fine with all human remains being displayed
I am fine with bones being displayed, but not bog-bodies or mummies
I am not fine with any human remains being displayed
My opinion is influenced by the age of the remains (where do you draw the line?)
I have no opinion/didn't know there was discourse about this
I'm undecided (Can you elaborate?)
I know the answers arent super nuanced, but i want the results to be somewhat easy to navigate, as it'll make it easier for me to use in my article. The reason I'm distinguishing between bones and bogbodies/mummies is because i'm curious if peoples opinions are influenced by the fact that one looks more "human" and has a face, while the other does not.
No answer is wrong! This isn't a test of morality or a judgement on what you think, this is just an attempt to sus out what the overall opinion on this topic is
