How this wasn't a TV show first, I don't know. But wait...
...this reminds me of the episode of Roseanne where DJ had all his sisters' dolls' body parts separated and sorted in shoeboxes.

This absolutely should not be a for profit space. The incentives don't line up with the wishes of families.
A lot of the nastiness with BRC is them deceiving families and then selling the donated bodies to the military for blast experiments. I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to help research blast armor with donations if this was handled properly, but they opted to sell as much as they could including from people who explicitly wanted nothing to do with any Department of Defense work.
Oh and even when these clowns did deliver body parts for the type of medical research people expect when they donate, they often didn't disclose infectious tissue. Love to put medical researchers at grave risk over flipping as many body parts as possible for cash.
I'd be happy to donate my body for research but I absolutely do not want someone making money off it. And I certainly don't want any of my tissue used for cosmetic surgery or anything of that sort.
What a terrible way to treat families who give your business something worth $2500-5000 for free.

Fuck, I know, right!?
He's basically a horror villain. It would be like having a mortician named M.T. Tooms. It's like the name of a horror host, or one of those hosts on the old E.C. horror comics. "I am Richard CADAVER, and this is my friend, Stephen GORE!", the surnames ghoulishly embellished and dripping with blood.
I feel sorry for the agents that had to see this. That is something you don't forget.
WTF?
What a world we live in.

Well that's enough of this planet if you need me I'm going to build a rocket to the moon and never come back
"Study: research suggests blasting cancer with 120mm rounds ineffective"
You don't think they're... DICKING AROUND over there, do you?
Whoever had to clean this up should've just said "NOPE!" Dropped everything and walked of the job; just reading this makes my hair star up.
Now I'm rethinking donating my body to science.
Yes, it was, some ten-plus years ago. I thought the episode was supposed to come out AFTER the case happened?
Reuters had a good report on this industry a few years back
www.reuters.com
In the U.S. market for human bodies, anyone can sell the donated dead
If you leave your body to science, you may also be donating to commerce: Cadavers and body parts are sold in a thriving, unregulated market where abuses abound.

Reminds me of this episode of the Swindled Podcast. It's a really fucked up "industry".

Pretty sure I read something like this in Crossed once, right down with "woman's head sewn on man's body" thing.
As one of the commentaries in the article says, even in a B-movie that name would be a little on the nose.
What?
You have no faith in our lord and savior, the free market?
In a truly free market researchers would buy their own body parts from the open market rather than a licensed monopoly, no?
The only thing this story is missing is cadaver brothels. Humans will do anything for a buck and this country doesn't like regulating.
To think this happened 6-7 years ago and we are just learning about it...damn.
There needs to be some serious government oversight/regulation into this practice. Crazy that no one bats an eye until the remains are an aborted fetus.
