Good question, because you will need to know.

“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

John Wooden

They can kill the body, but not the soul.

Matthew 10:28  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

"The argument from this text is plain, unanswerable, and conclusive. If the soul dies, or goes into oblivion when the body dies, the he that kills the body would, with the same stroke, kill the soul too. But our Saviour tells us that those who kill the body cannot kill the soul. And if it be said that this is meant only of the utter destruction of the soul, God having promised resurrection to life again, then our Saviour might as well have denied that it is in the power of a man to kill the body, because god certainly will raise it again at the last day. But our blessed Lord grants that the body may be killed by man, in the same sense wherein he denies that the soul can be; and therefore he is not speaking with reverence to the resurrection at all. There is then, a life which the death of the body cannot touch."

The Apocalypse by J.A. Seiss

Here I stand. Or over there. Doesn't really matter to me.

"Indifferentism about doctrine makes no heroes of the faith."

 Christianity and Liberalism by  J. Gresham Machen

As a UK Basketball fan, this doesn't surprise me.

     "After a foiled raid on a graveyard in New Albany, Indiana, on February 24, 1890, Dr. W. H. Wathen, head of the Kentucky Medical College, told a Tribune reporter, “The gentlemen were acting not for the Kentucky School of Medicine nor for themselves individually, but for the medical schools of Louisville to which the human subject is as necessary as breath to life.” Just three weeks later the physicians of Louisville were at it again. They attempted to rob a grave at the State Asylum for the Insane in Anchorage, Kentucky, this time on behalf of the University of Louisville. “Yes, the party was sent out by us,” a senior school official said. “We must have bodies, and if the State won’t give them to us we must steal them. The winter classes were large and used up so many subjects that there are none for the spring classes.” He saw no need to apologize. “The Asylum Cemetery has been robbed for years,” he said, “and I doubt if there is a corpse in it. I tell you we must have bodies. You cannot make doctors without them, and the public must understand it. If we can’t get them any other way we will arm the students with Winchester rifles and send them to protect the body-snatchers on their raids.”
