S2 Ep70: Body Brokering
from Always the Last to Know · host Always the Last to Know
This week, Katy tells us all about the ethics, or really the lack thereof, behind donating your body to science. We hear very real examples of what can go wrong when there aren't guidelines and checks & balances in place for these kinds of organizations. It is not all doom and gloom though! Stick around til the end to hear about the places that are doing right by the dead & their families.Sourceshttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dismembered-body-parts-sewn-together-frankenstein-donation-center-fbi-found-n1035131https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11/20/arizona-human-chop-shop-sold-body-parts-experiments/https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/4-charged-in-harvard-morgue-body-part-theft-scheme/3068131/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/4-charged-stealing-selling-human-body-parts-harvard-medical-school-mor-rcna89357https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/harvard-human-remains-case-highlights-need-body-donation-regulations-e-rcna90524https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-mistreatment-donated-bodies-20230607-2stxbebqg5gs5gkb7i447u2b3u-story.html
