Title: Three U.S. undertakers sold body parts
Post by: chokkan 2 on October 05, 2007, 06:06:18 PM

Three Philadelphia funeral directors led a scheme in which more than 1,000 cadavers were dismembered in unsanitary conditions and the parts sold to doctors who implanted them in patients, a grand jury charged on Thursday.

They should be punished with the highest punishment there is!! Not just for illegally selling body parts and not respecting the death for personal gain, but also for the people who are at receiving ends of those body parts that are infected with various diseases!!

Another tale of human greed in one of the more grisly ways.
They were completely disgusting and dispectful in making this choice and profiting from it.
All those involved with this should be punished to the highest degree of the law.
Gotta wonder, though, about those who have had transplants done from these body parts and tissues, and the possibility of them contracting any one of those diseases mentioned in the article.
