"Critics have complained"

[edit]

Apparently, "critics" have complained that Lindow Man is being objectified rather than treated with the respect due the dead. This is, apparently, "part of a wider discussion about the scientific treatment of human remains". However, we are told nothing about who these critics are, or how significant they are. Nor are we told what (they think) "the respect due the dead" should be. And we are told nothing about this wider discussion of the scientific treatment of human remains. The only source cited is a 2007 news article from Culture24 that no longer exists at the link given (and searching for "Lindow Man" on their website turns up nothing). Are these complaints actually significant? If so, I think more information (and a valid source) need to be given. If not, do we even need this paragraph?
