Unscrupulous Sicko Tech: Body Parts Snatching Case Sparks Surgery Fears
Tech angle: Forget it. The story just gives me the creeps.
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
Every year more than 1 million Americans have medical procedures that use bone or other tissue from a cadaver -- like disk replacements or dental implants.
But what if the donated tissue came from someone who died of cancer? Or AIDS? Or hepatitis?
That worry caused by a ghoulish scandal in the body parts business has led to distress for hundreds of people, and some prospective patients are now reconsidering how they want their surgeries done.
