#1 GRAVE ROBBERS.. Un friggin believable.... you said it Paul.

These grave robbing funeral directors are a pack of real life deamons feeding on our love ones corpses. CREEPY eh! Movie Time

Think of the good heroic works done by Drs., Hospitals and Staff and then these greedy shit heads polute the whole process.

Justice for the Body Snachers:

sell their bones and keep them alive, just heaps of skin with an IV going in.

#3 As part of his plea deal, Mastromarino will cooperate with prosecutors who are investigating several companies that bought the stolen body parts and sold them on to more than 20,000 transplant recipients throughout the US, Canada and Europe.

Ahhhhhh, yes, hi, Mr. Johnson? We're gonna need that femur back...

#4 Two points:

#1 Moderators, please file this under local. Thought I marked it local. My mistake.

#2 This type of behavior pollutes the life saving advances made by medical science. It exposes receipants to serious disease, where they can also transmit it to others. It also compromises ethics, which is part of the glue that holds civilization together.

#5 Mastromarino was keeping an "eye open" for a plea deal. He was cooperating in an attempt to get a "leg up" on the case. The lawyer said he would take the case but it would cost Mastromarino an "arm and a leg." Drum roll....How useful or viable are say a 94 year liver or heart or bones? Ghoulish story.

#6 Somebody needs to turn this story into a screen play.

It'd make for a great episode of MasterPIECE Theater.

"For Masterpiece Theater...this is Alistair Cooke...goodnight."

#7 Organleggers. The new bootlegger.

I think this came from Niven, maybe RAH.

#8 Yes, Larry Niven. The Known Space Series and the short stories, ""The Long ARM of Gil Hamilton."

#9 "ethics, which is part of the glue that holds civilization together"

Guess that explains pakiwakiland, sudan, soodi arabia, etc, & especially the various paleolands, Paul.

#10 EXACTLY, Barbara. And the UK and the US will be the same way if we go the PC way. The law HAS to come down on this type of stuff hard. There is a lot of money in the parts business, and lots of money attracts lots of nefarious characters---double entendre not intended.
