Recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. Many will find this possibility disturbing, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create “spare” bodies, both human and nonhuman.

I've heard that in the 70s and up through the 80s there was a suspicious source of cheap human skeletons from India in abundance with perfect bodies, no damage, even perfect teeth that medical schools and so on were using. Apparently someone started looking into this and the source suddenly dried up.

They'd absolutely use normal humans for this, it would be cheaper, they'd do it in the global south and they'd lie about it.
