So this has been going on for many years, maybe below the radar of most people. When I was in high school (1989), my French teacher had a French magazine that showed cadavers in car crash testing.

The research into a collisions effect on the human body began with live people stapping themselfes in. The data from thoose early tests, where quite a few people got seriously hurt, tests with human cadavers and live animals, mainly bonobos and chimpansees, laid the foundation for the creation of and modern testing with the now familiar crash test dummy. Saw a 1 hour documentary about this on the discovery channel not long ago. Yes, it’s been done for a long time.

People donate their body to science all the time - some get used in medical school, some get put on display in a museum, some get used for plastic surgery techniques, some get used as crash test dummies. As for me, I want to donate my organs and then get composted. :) The book “Stiff” by Mary Roach has a whole chapter on this.
