I have heard that the serfs/slaves were not killed specifically to make those. I have not checked that claim. Can somebody weigh in on that?
Just logically speaking it makes sense. Why would you kill someone (who will eventually die anyway) in order to make stuff out of their body parts?
I don't think anyone was intending to suggest these slaves were murdered specifically to make stuff out of their body parts, it's more just that the fact that they made stuff out of slave body parts shows just how little regard they had for them. If you think of someone as a human you bury or cremate them, rather than carrying around their femur or whatever
Tibetan funerals actually involve feeding you to the birds. Which is not to say 'turning your dead skull into a relic' isn't intended to be disrespectful.
