CLEVELAND — Fresh off a comfortable re-election victory in 2018, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, considered running for president on a populist message aimed at the many working-class Midwest voters who had fled the Democratic Party in favor of Donald Trump. He spoke of a “post-Senate mission” to reorient Democrats as the “party of workers” in Middle America. “But I lost in large part because the national reputation of the Democratic Party is that we are sort of a lighter version of a corporation — a corporate party. And that’s one of the reasons that working-class voters have been willing to look away from the Democratic Party. Brown talks of NAFTA like it’s an original sin for his party — the moment Democrats began losing the working class.

This article is part of “Dealing the Dead,” a series investigating the use of unclaimed bodies for medical research. “Particularly after he served his country.”Supplying unclaimed bodies for medical research is widely considered unethical, and most major medical schools — and a few states — have halted the practice. NBC News spent months documenting the use of unclaimed bodies in medical research, submitting public records requests to dozens of state agencies, county coroners and medical schools. That included Pennsylvania, where an official said the body-donation program could not share how the 58 unclaimed bodies were used. He wants to see more regulation of the body donation industry and has written guidelines that call for donation programs to stop using unclaimed bodies.

I felt like a failure when I became a mother, so I had to shift my perspective. I have always been a rule follower, and as a teenager, I rarely challenged my Indian immigrant parents' strict rules. Academic success became the cornerstone of my self-esteem as I entered college, and my priorities reflected this. I turned down invitations to socialize, travel, and explore in order to study, study, and then study some more. I struggled with breastfeeding, as many mothers do, and in my postpartum period, I filtered this experience through my default lens of success vs. failure.
