NEW ORLEANS - Tulane University has suspended its dealings with a national distributor of donated bodies after learning seven cadavers were sold to the Army and blown up in Texas to test protective footwear against land mines.

The bodies that had been donated to Tulane's medical school were given to New York-based National Anatomical Service, which sold them to the Army more than a year ago for between $25,000 and $30,000, said Chuck Dasey, a spokesman for the Army's Medical Research and Materiel Command AT Fort Detrick, Md.

The bodies were blown up in land mine experiments at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.

In early 2003, when Tulane's Willed Body Program learned about the land mine tests, it asked NAS to never again allow its cadavers to be used for anything but medical and educational purposes.
