Summary
Only fools donate their bodies for "science." As we're learning from
recent scandals, there's a massive underground economy where thousands
of body parts are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars -- even body
parts from now-deceased people who thought they were donating their body
parts to "science." But now the story gets stranger still. Tulane
University in New Orleans was receiving more bodies than it could use.
So it hired a New York company to distribute the so-called "surplus body
parts" for profit. This New York company, National Anatomical Service,
turned around and sold bodies to the Pentagon to be used for -- get this
-- landmine testing! That's right: people who thought they
were donating their bodies for science were actually having their bodies
used to test military explosives. That's not what most people have in
mind when they think they're donating their bodies to science. I've
warned people against being organ donors for years. When you donate
organs or your entire body to some organization out of good will,
there's absolutely no guarantee that the organization -- even a
university -- isn't going to sell your dead body to someone who will use
it for some outrageous or obscene purpose. The surfacing of this story
proves that. Keep your organs. Even when you're dead. And don't let some
huckster sell your body parts for his own personal profit.

Details
- Bodies donated to a university medical school were sold to the army
who then blew them up in tests involving land mines, escalating the
controversy over the unregulated use of human body parts.
- Chuck Dasey, a spokesman for the Army Medical Research and Material
Command in Fort Detrick, Maryland, said the bodies were blown up in
tests on protective footwear against land mines.
- The Pentagon has long bought cadavers to use in research involving
explosive devices and has been one of the biggest buyers in the largely
unregulated trade.
- But few people who agree to donate their bodies or those of their
deceased relatives realise they will end up being used in such tests.
