Speaking on WBUR’s Radio Boston Thursday, Gov. Maura Healey said the state currently has no oversight of medical school morgues. “We’ll take a look at it, obviously,” she said.
Healey said the state does not plan to conduct its own investigation, but instead will let the federal cases play out.
Neither the state Department of Public Health nor the medical examiner’s office has any responsibility for the medical school morgues, spokespeople for those departments said. DPH does have oversight authority over hospital morgues — just not those at medical schools.
Other states, such as Florida and Maryland, do have some state oversight of anatomical gift programs through state anatomy boards.
There appears to be no national oversight of medical school practices with dead bodies. The Association of American Medical Colleges said it has no role in medical schools’ body donations or how they manage their morgues.
The American Association for Anatomy, in a statement Thursday, called for reforms to prevent something like the Harvard thefts from happening again.
"To ensure the ethical, legal, and responsible operation of body donation programs nationwide, the AAA calls upon government and law enforcement agencies, academic institutions, and regulatory bodies for both justice and collaborative reform to prevent the misuse and commodification of human body donors," the statement said.

Obama could collect the bodies for the Marine Corpse.
But aren’t minority businesses a good thing?
somebody cue the ‘that’s racist kid.
This sounds like something out of 19th Century England. Ugh.
I am SO embarrassed to have been raised in Massachusetts...the liberal cesspool and corruption is so out front. This broad healy is such a thieving selfish C___. I would say that at least I wasn’t BORN there but my birth occurred in San Jose California in 1961....(I have a heavy Boston accent and I’m tired of telling everyone else that they talk wrong) Mass. was nice up until the mid 70’s then all commie/liberal scum took over voting away everything to the D.C. .....Massachusetts is beyond repair...this post is from a Cape Cod/ Martha’s Vineyard trotting former resident. (both areas are now ruined except for September-January... then visit Truro-Wellfleet area’s)
One of the few things I know about it is "Taxachusetts".
Don't feel embarrassed. Fact is every single communist allowed to run rampant in any of our 50 states is the fault of all patriotic Americans together. We must find the way to finally shut these subversives down at last.
Medical college is so expensive it may cost a student an arm and a leg, sold on the black market for profit.
Heard the guy paying top dollar was Mr.Frank N. Stein.

Look, get off my case. They’re all still complete, just some assembly required.
Do you suppose he plans to leave his mammoth carcass (mammae included) to science?
