Here is a bizarre story involving a real body chop shop. Two brothers who ran a funeral home and crematorium admitted Tuesday that they sold corpses to a company that trafficked stolen body parts. They had taken parts from 244 corpses. The parts were sold to a company that used skin, bones, tendons for medical use. "Skin, bones, tendons and other parts — some of them diseased — were then sold around the country for dental implants, knee and hip replacements, and other procedures." Just think if you have had any reconstructive dental surgery or maybe a hip replacement you might just have some diseased parts of another corpse on or in you. Great. On the flip side one of the corpses raided was that of veteran BBC broadcaster and "Masterpiece Theatre" host Alistair Cooke so you could have some memorbilia of a famous person along with you. Too hard to tell.
