The newschannels are reporting busting up a "stolen body parts" ring-where a mortician (or maybe a couple) had an "in" on recent corpses, and took them to a "special room" in the mortuary, and with the help of a NYC Oral surgeon, harvested bones, tendons, ligaments, etc from corpses, which unsuspecting surgeons used for implantations. Problem is, some of these organs/parts were AIDS-infected, or the people died of cancer, or had hepatitis, etc. etc. So now, folks are walking around with this diseased cadavor part in their body. How sleazy are some people willing to go for a buck? They replaced the stolen parts with PVC (like in place of the bones). YECCH--and ghoulish, and sick, and--too many expletives to list!

Yeah, and some of the parts came from Alaister Cooke (of Masterpiece Theater fame).

This, I feel, is what happens when a market develops. I'm an organ donorer and so is my wife. Organs should be free and available to everyone because, unless you have RELIGIOUS reasons, your body parts should be made available for FREE to anyone who needs them (assuming they're usable, of course).

But then, I'm a radical in this.

This has been widely reported in the U.S. in the last couple of days. Here is a link to Four Indicted in Case of Tissue Theft.

It really is a troubling story, though I must contest the remark above that these people died of Hepatitis and AIDS--they didn't say that. What they said is that no screening took place to determine anything about the cause of death or to transmit that information with the tissue that was sold. So while there may be AIDS or hepatitis, we don't know that yet.

MaineDog, you need to get over the idea that you can dictate to others what they do with their lives or when they choose to have children. The personal choices of others should not be subjected to the dogma of your religious beliefs.

Here's an artical in the Washington Post.

Stem cell research is a completely different topic. Stem cells come from days old embreyos. (I believe they're the ones from from in vito fertilization that don't get implanted, and never created just for the stem cells. They're typically disposed of.) Abortions and fetuses (not to mention their body parts!) have nothing to do with stem cell research except in propaganda. My guess is MaineDog got some of that propaganda and didn't research it further because it came from someone he unquestioningly believed. It happens.

I can't imagine what I'd feel like to learn I'd been the recipient of something that was stolen out of a corpse.

Stolen body parts for transplantation, please! Urban Myth!
Thank you every donor everywhere.
When receiving my new organ my own surgeon flew by helo from Mass to Maine (I'm not wealthy by a long shot), personally removed the organ from the donor, who was BTW was at the medical center still warm (cold is no good) & then proceeded to fly back with it, ran all sorts of second tests to confirm the recent tests & tests for their own (& mine) concerns, opened me, put the organ in me & didn't leave my side until the organ started pumping, another surgeon sowed me up. No questions of what was going inside me. The science of transplanting leaves no questions as to who it came from & why & what the health of the organ was in or where the organ came from & that persons medical history and why they died & what effects it may have on whither or not the donors organ will be acceptable for a transplant. An example a prisoner's organ is not expectable right from Jump Street. Whither or not this is reasonable may be debated but they (the transplant team) have a very strict guideline that gets followed to the T.

About aborted fetuses & stem cell research from what I've read here those screaming are really talking about non issues & I'd say you'd need a refresher course on what you're talking about.

Alastair Cooke's family commented on this in the media.

Not only were they distressed that his body had been desecrated in this way but they stated that he had cancer and were concerned that the bones which were removed would carry those cancerous cells to any recipient.

Even the idea of tissue/organ transplants leaves me cold and ... Sorry, but I doubt I could ever bring myself ever agree to such a procedure, either as recipient or donor (but particularly as recipient). And I do hope life continues to spare me the necessity of ever having to make that decision (beyond simply not signing the donor card on my drivers license, that is).

A few weeks ago an acquaintance committed suicide. In his mid-40's, this person had been a heavy smoker, alcoholic and drug abuser all his adult life. For the last couple years right up to his death, he'd been smoking 2 packs of cigarettes and drinking at least a case of beer a day, as well as abusing Percodans and other prescription/illegal drugs. It was so bad near the end that he'd driven most of his friends away. Including me. :-(

Anyway, the doctors kept him alive long enough to get his wife's permission to remove his organs. And within 24 hours of his death, some poor soul had that heart installed in their chest. Can't give you the complete list of organs that were relocated, but I will say that at the funeral (open casket) his trunk looked like a deflated balloon.

And I just couldn't believe it. Who in their right mind would install a heavy smoker/drinker/drug abuser's heart/organs into somebody else?? Are medical professionals, in general, so terrified by even the thought of death they'll do ANYTHING to put it off, even just for a few weeks? No wonder people are stealing organs for resale!

I'd rather suffer my own physical ailments and take my chances, myself. Even if that meant I'd be six feet under in a hurry. But hey, to each their own.

Here in Oz, if you are a donor, it is marked on your driver's licence. I'm a donor - it's not like I'm gonna NEED those things when I'm gone, and I like the idea that bits of me might be of some use to other people. Anyway, I hate waste!

Speaking of body parts, here's a little song by Bernard Bolan:

"The Head"

I'll tell a tale as black as night, as grim as grim can be,
Of the day I paid my mortgage down at the AMP,
Directed to the 15th floor, into the lift I got,
A feller's head came in after me but the rest of him did not.

The doors closed like a guillotine, the lift flew like a bird,
All the way to the 15th floor, the head said not a word,
When I got into the office, the mortgage man did say:
"Keeping ahead of your payments sir?" then he fainted clean away

Just a little head, nearly round and very red,
Came into my lift and life that day,
Just a little head but as the AMP man said:
"Not wishing to seem funny but we only want your money,
And we'd rather that you took your head away:"

When I got out to the entrance hall, the crowd had formed a queue,
Which stretched right up to Hunter St., the headless man to view,
When I walked out with my newfound friend, not a word was said,
So busy with his body, no-one bothered with his head.

Once away from all the crush I studied my new head,
With piggy eyes and double chin he must have been well-fed,
He looked a trifle thirsty and a pub I did perceive,
So I bought my head a schooner but he leaked all down my sleeve.

Just a little head, nearly round and very dead,
The fruits of automation's gentle arts,
Just a little head but as the ambulance man said:
"Well I'm very good with shoulders and with backbones bent by boulders,
But there's little one can do without the parts."

Like Ann Boleyn I walked around the Stock Exchange that day,
The market fell and with the smell the brokers moved away,
I got into the library and a chappie grabbed my sleeve,
"It'll have to stay out here," he said, "collect it when you leave."

But in the end like all good things our friendship had to cease,
So I took my head to Phillips St. to the sergeant of police,
He sent me first to homicide and then the CID,
And finally, lost property, who'd got another three.

Just a little head so be careful where you tread,
If you step round to the cop-shop anyday,
Just a little head but as the chief inspector said:
"It's been noted and inspected, and if it is not collected,
You can come and take your bloody head away."

MaineDog, that's a wacko anti-abortion group in Texas. Anyone can put up a web site for a few bucks and they can say anything they want. If people are foolish enough to read and believe without evaluating, they're hoping to bring people over to their side, even if it takes fiction to do it.

One of my best friends wives is waiting on a kidney... sign your donor cards you fkn jerks!

Okay, I'll bite. Which one of his wives is waiting for a kidney and how many wives does he have?

I must say, this head-to-head combat between Clinton and *daylia* is a Perfect matchup!

I admit that these sources are biased. Who would publish information harmful to their agenda? I certainly don't claim that everything they say is 100% true, but here is another source for a baby body parts industry. Read it if you dare.

Tell your friend he can get a kidney in the Phillipines real cheap.

I actually think harvesting human organs is far more disgusting than donating organs after your dead. I mean, why waste perfectly good organs that can save somebodies life. On the other hand....

I know a twin brother who gave his kidney to his twin. Oddly enough, the twin who gave the kidney took longer to heal than the one who received it. Of course, the joke was that the older, stronger one owed it to the weaker one because he stole most of the nutrients in the womb.

In any event, it is a highly personal choice. I just wish more people would consider it. Most people don't even think about it.

...and I do think that donors should be screened and have a clean bill of health. It would be heartbreaking to go through a transplant and then find out the part was defective.

Unless it's WAY less defective than the part that was trying to KILL you in the first place....

In 1994 the transplant program at UCLA was closed. Here is a link with detail on the price of a cadaver if all of the parts are harvested.
