i am not sure if it ever hit the news, but in a nutshell there were two large and prestigious funeral homes owned in NY where they would sell fresh cadaver parts on a black market. each dead body can accumulate to $1,250,000. These people were the number one supplier internationally as well.
The most highly demanded and expensive body parts such as kidney/liver/bones or any type of organ transplant where majority of the patients have to be on the waiting lists for years and years and end up dieing from limited inventory.
After a large potion of this organization has been captured, the authority also belived that some of these body parts maybe infected and would create further internal complications for the patients. This was a billion dollar business without a doubt.
after hearing all this shit i was disgusted what people are capable of, but at the same time lives were being saved those who could afford it. There is no way i will condon this type of activity, but if my loved one had a chance to live and i was able to make it happen, i would do anything even if it means resulting purchasing the needed organ illegally.
