I can accept the justification of what is essentially 'grave robbing' for the sake of science. But, get the answers you need, and respectfully replace the bodies where you got them from. If the items they were buried with go on permanent display, well, it was always just 'stuff'.
I am a bit outraged when I see the bodies of sacrificed Incan children put on public display. There should be a line drawn -- science vs. amusement.
