Exporting companies are using Chinese ships, planes, and trucks to transport dead Americans across the world for research purposes, according to a Thursday report from Reuters.
A Hong Kong flagged cargo ship departed South Carolina in July carrying 6,000 pounds of human remains valued at $67,204. The container’s temperature was set to 5 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the parts from spoiling. Relatives of the dead, meanwhile, did not realize their loved ones’ remains were being dismembered and sent to Europe and elsewhere, the report notes.
Body brokers like Oregon-based MedCure rely on lax regulations to export heads, shoulders, knees and toes to Mexico, China, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, among several other countries. Plastic surgeons in Germany use heads to practice new techniques, while thousands of parts are shipped overseas annually.
“There are people who wouldn’t necessarily mind where the specimens were sent if they were fully informed,” Brandi Schmitt, who directs a body donation system at the University of California, told reporters about the trade, which is still shrouded in mystery. “But clearly there are plenty of donors that do mind and that don’t feel like they’re getting enough information.”
The FBI raided MedCure in November, which culminated in a federal investigation.

Good way to hide a body....
Never donate body.
Does not go to medical science,which seems to the uninitiated to mean helping in research or medical school.
But instead means being chopped up and sold for profit.
The law in this state is that in hospital deaths the organ donation rep needs to be notified within one hour, so they can pressure the family.
Hang up on them.
I suspect the hospital gets a cut.
They have to move fast, whether to donate organ or body
Damn right it is as in pure BS.

We just went through this when my brother passed last week. Pressure was brought to bear in the form of a conference room discussion of how his organs could be donated and save others. In our case, my mother and his girlfriend were staunchly opposed so the answer was NO.
BUT... we don’t know what was actually done with the body once we left the hospital and because he will be cremated, anything is possible. I already feared they harvested his organs anyway before reading this article.
sometimes you can call your mortician right when the corpse is pronounced dead and have them pick it up quickly. In most hospitals corpses are removed from the room to the morgue with a morgue cart, and picked up from the morgue by the mortician from there.
Fatty Americans.
Once I’m dead, I really do not care what happens to my lifeless remains.
The only thing I don’t like about dying isn’t what happens to my body (my soul belongs to Jesus), but that I might start voting democrat!
Well...maybe you were onto something here. Any corpses go to Wuhan?
Yeah, those plastic surgeons really need to get a leg up on one another ...
“Soylent Green.”
At 5 degrees Fahrenheit it’d more like Soylent Blue. And shivering.
