考研英语：双语阅读之遗体竟被用于爆炸试验篇

Jim Stauffer is one of the multiple plaintiffs suing the centre. He believed his mother's donatedbody would be used to study Alzheimer's, a disease she had, but he later found out it was usedby the military to examine the effects of explosives.

吉姆·斯托弗是起诉该中心的众多原告之一。他原以为捐献的母亲遗体会被用于研究阿尔茨海默症(他母亲生前也患有阿尔茨海默症)，但他后来发现遗体被军队用于测试爆炸效果。

He says on the paperwork he was given by the centre he specifically ticked 'no' when asked ifhe consented to the body being used to test explosives.

他说，生物资源中心给他的文件上写道，是否同意将遗体用于爆炸试验，他已经明确选择了“不”。

So how does the body donation business operate in the US and what expectations do peoplehave about these facilities?

那么美国的遗体捐赠企业是如何运作的，人们对这些机构又抱有什么期待呢?

While organ donation is regulated by the US Department of Health and Human Services, body donation remains an unregulated industry.

事实是，尽管器官捐献受美国卫生与公众服务部制约，遗体捐献依然是一个不受管制的行业。
