Let’s hope they remembered that the skeleton was once a living, breathing, human being just like themselves and handled him/her with dignity and reverence.

any real skeletons that end up in classes now have to come from donors. Most like silvrGrl said were dug up & sold. Any student who is handling real bones are told to be respectful of them.
