Stolen body parts linked to patients' illnesses

Lawsuits claim tissue transplants were infected with viruses, other germs

Quote :

"NEW YORK - At least a dozen people who had routine operations claim they caught deadly viruses and other germs from body parts stolen from corpses in a ghoulish scandal that has sent hundreds of people for tests. The patients tested positive for germs that cause AIDS, hepatitis or syphilis after receiving tissue transplants, according to their lawyers and court records. Lawsuits have been filed for two Midwestern men, one in Nebraska and one in Ohio. Both claim they caught a hepatitis virus from the tissue implanted in back and spine operations — a contention that lawyers acknowledge will be difficult to prove."

Yah, that is a pcvalve pipe in a corpse.

"A New Jersey company, Biomedical Tissue Services, is accused of failing to gain consent to take bones, tendons, ligaments, skin and other tissue from cadavers. The most famous example involved the corpse of Alistair Cooke, the longtime host of the PBS series “Masterpiece Theater.” Cooke died of cancer at age 95, and his leg bones were removed and shipped to tissue processors for use in medical procedures."
