The Biological Resource Center was a for-profit body donation company that accepted donations of bodies after people died. The company gave donors and their families free transportation services to pick up the body, plus free cremation.

One of the problems is that some families thought that a body "donation" meant their loved ones' bodies were being given to a charity to help with disease research. Some mistakenly thought the Biological Resource Center would be donating their loved ones' organs, not knowing that organ donation and body donation are not the same thing.

Not all were aware the Biological Resource Center often dismembered and sold various body parts.

A 2013 price list that is part of the court file indicates sale prices for body parts:

Whole body with no shoulders or head: $2,900.
Torso with head: $2,400.
Whole spine: $950.
Whole leg: $1,100.
Whole foot: $450.
Knee: $375.
Pelvis: $400.
And the owners name was 'Stephen Gore'...ironical.

Imagine what it took to "work" there and (imo) it's not a big leap to what happened. Hire freaks, expect a freak show.

Makes me sick. And disgusted with people in general. I prefer to keep horror in movies, not real life. I was hoping that was a spoof news site. I guess not.

True. I try to watch the TV news at least once a week. I keeps getting more difficult. At least living in small town America, I am not often exposed to the realities.

I find this very disturbing.

Most things don't worry me. I'm pretty thick skinned, but this is REALLY disturbing.

20 years ago when I was in undergrad, the prosthetic development research group bought a lot of knees for destructive testing.
