Experimenting with human flesh

Hello,

Flesh taken from a living person must be buried, or destroyed in a respectful way. One may conduct necessary tests on flesh taken from a living person, but the remains should be buried, or destroyed in a respectful way.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 1:232)
