Title: Four charged in a plan to sell body parts for medical use
Post by: Foxy Brown on February 26, 2006, 05:20:43 PM

The owner of a New Jersey biomedical firm made millions of dollars by stealing body parts from a Brooklyn funeral home and selling them for procedures done by doctors across the country, prosecutors said yesterday.

I dunno.

It seems better to put them to use improving the lives of living people than to just let them go to waste.

Quote from: The Article

Investigators say that some body parts came from elderly people and perhaps victims of infectious diseases, and that the paperwork had been doctored to say they had been younger and healthier. They say the suspects had profited by selling the tissue to companies that had turned it into products used for disk replacements, dental implants, and other surgical procedures done by unsuspecting doctors across the United States.
