A bit of respect

I must confess that I was really caught by this new from the very beginning. Just a month ago it was known by a local TV programme the outstanding news that three mummies have been found in deserted mountains of our country. As soon as the news became known, the controversial opinions about the matter also arose and discussion was established. Native and non official organizations claim for the mummies’ recovery to their original family members. They claimed that the mummies must not have been removed from their burial places because; according to aboriginal customs they were given to their god as offerings, so they were sacred gifts.

Although the fact that these kinds of discoveries may help in scientific researches, I think that human remains should not be taken out from their burial places. Moreover they should be banned by law as well as the expositions of this type of remains. Just think about the possibility of being exposed behind the glass of a museum.
