Details on a body harvesting ring operating in NJ, NY, and PA are emerging.

Corpses were purchased from funeral homes in low-income areas and everything from bones to heart valves to skin was harvested and sold. Medical records were forged, meaning potentially diseased parts were sold to legitimate companies and tissue banks. It is estimated 10,000 persons in the USA, Britain, and Canada have received body parts or tissues from this operation. The article is far worse than this small tidbit I've written, so you are warned.

Is this a bad thing? My family has been doing it for years http://www.bbc.co.uk/crime/caseclosed/burkeandhare.shtml

I actually have "cow" bone in my jaw. You never really know what you're getting.

Is there anything PVC pipe isn't good for?

Other than being morbidly shocked by this, and a bit queasy, I'm surprised there was no mention of duct tape.
