Dr. Frankenstein is... ALIVE!

What happens to your loved ones after they die?

They go to the funeral home to be prepared for burial right?


Well... it depends on which funeral home you go to.



If you, or someone you know, is getting tissue transplants...

Tissues from things like bone, heart valves, tendons...



For surgeries like heart surgery, disc replacements, knee replacements...

You know... real *live* human tissue stuff...



Do you know where it comes from?

Well, no... it's not a grocery store...but kind of like one...


What do you do for a living if you are an oral surgeon and loose your dentist license?

What kind of career moves do you make? Do you go back to college?

hmmm...

Here's an interesting job description:

...enterprise corruption, body stealing and opening graves, unlawful dissection, forgery and other counts.


Evidently there is a black market for human body parts and tissues.

This is just absolutely crazy and ridiculously lucrative.


Prosecutors said Thursday the defendants made millions of dollars obtaining bodies from funeral parlors in three states.

They allegedly forged death certificates and organ donor consent forms to make it look as if the bones, skin, tendons, heart valves and other tissue were legally removed.

...Prosecutors said the defendants took organs from people who had not given consent or were too old or too sick to donate. The defendants forged consent forms and altered the death certificates to indicate the victims had been younger and healthier, authorities said.

X-rays and photos of recently exhumed cadavers show that where leg bones should have been, someone had inserted white plastic pipes -- the kind used for home plumbing projects, available at any hardware store. The pipes were crudely reconnected to hip and ankle bones with screws before the legs were sewn back up.



I wonder how many communicable diseases have been passed around to the unsuspecting victims who received the 'black market' "bio-medical products"?

You can read the entire article at CNN here.


So do you think that there are other 'body snatcher' rings across the country?

For those kind of wages... You bet there are.

So when you go to the funeral home, how are you going to make sure that everything is still...

well...

intact?



Changes the meaning a bit when you say...

"Mom, I don't think Grandpa is all there."
