The bodies are obtained exclusively from people who decided they wanted to donate them for such a purpose. See:

The California Science Center, before accepting the exhibit, conducted an extensive review ("the most extensive in their history", according to them) of the donation progam and a basically audited the whole process and came to the conclusion that it was 100% legit and ethical.
