I dont think most human skeletons/bones are from people who donated their bodies. A heard that nearly all human skeletons/bones are from china and are from executed prisoners. I dont know if its true or not, but it sounds possible.
Skeleton decoration- inappropriate or not?

I found an article on it. I was wrong about china, this article says most are from india. It does a good job explaining it. I thought it was really cool.

executed prisoners make up a good 75% of donated science related studies.

real skeletons cost a sh*tload so im pretty sure it would be fake. and if it is fake then it would be pretty cool!

I think if the skeleton wasn't real, it might look kind of cool, if it was in a huge tank. If it's real, however, i think it's disrespectful.
Me personally...I wouldn't. It would be too creepy. And it seems disrespectful a bit. After all...you didn't know the person. For all you know, it could've been someone who had a seafood allergy or fishphobia. It'd be ironic. Some people find it disrespectful to put religious items in fish tanks as well while others think it's cool, but to each their own.
If it was real, i would be concerned about the Formaldehyde. If it was a poly one, i support it 100%.
Just so you know 95% of the time Skeletons used in classrooms or schools are artificial
If it was a preserved skeleton of an actual person then the Ethics flag gets raised
Its its a fake skeleton sure what ever floats your boat if its a real one we'll might wan't to respect the dead

Man, that sounds too weird for me (if it were real). Even executed felons deserve more than being some guy's centrepiece.
