Ahps academic health programs and a dozen of evs (entrepreneur ventures) (both for-profit and non-profit) Comparison of justification of body donation by ahps and evs. Evs are more aggressive in justification: less likely invoke medical students , more likely to mention altruism and much more likely to mention financial relief , they are more likely to convince rather than simply inform potential donors. Ahps are much less likely to mention financial relief than evs and than other justification. Ahps opt to trade only select cadavers, those secured in-state by other ahps; opposing market development. Ubjects are perceived to lie on the boundary between sacred (the body) and profane (market, profit)
