I have a skeleton that I acquired when I was studying medicine in the early 80s. Back then it was compulsory to have one.



It’s not a whole skeleton - it’s the skull, spine, pelvic bone + one side of the body. So only one arm and one leg.



It’s now been in my attic for decades, as I’ve never known what to do with it really.



Dh and I have recently retired and are emigrating - I obviously have to dispose of it somehow.



I tried to persuade my daughter to put it in her loft, but she thinks it’s too ‘creepy’.



So I’ve tried googling how to dispose of it - one website said that under the new Health Tissue Act the best thing to do is to offer it to a licensed medical school. I’ve emailed my alma mater and a few other local unis, but they’ve either not replied or declined it.



Does anyone have any ideas?
