Teresa Schindler-victim of the organ industry?

Still one has to wonder why a helpless human being was so atrociously and heinously starved to death according to the middle-age "Carolinian Criminal-Court Rules" . My theory is that the president as well as his brother only made token attempts for publicity reasons. To my mind, what is really behind it all, is that Terri Schindler was a testing case for the ORGAN INDUSTRY. In future this rotten judiciary will say it suffices to have the "expert" opinions of three court-hired and court-dependent physicians to declare a person brain-dead to be allowed either to kill this persons for "mercy" or "euthanasia" reasons or, provided, the persons's organs are in perfect condition, to have the organs ripped out of a living being and sold to the insatiable organ industry (organs are expensive-you can get more than a million for all organs plus corneas, bones, marrow etc).

Just one example to show how far this sort of procedure has already progressed in Europe: Some years ago I read in the German magazine "DER SPIEGEL" writing about organ theft, that an employee of a hospital in the neighborhood of Braun Inc. in Melsungen (chief German organ industry company) had disclosed how organ theft had been perpetrated for years on order of the chief surgeon who was affiliated to the above company. On one occasion, parents wanted to take home from this clinic their son's corpse, who had suffered severe brain injury in a bicycle accident, only to find that nothing was left but the skin stuffed with sawdust.

Is this what it is all behind? One knows very well that politicians are closely netted with influential industrial circles.

Would not be surprising at all.

[Cagey]

Guilty as charged by Karijotas.

I couldn't find this specific anecdote, but I did find this on a google search. BTW, welcome to Free Republic.

Report of the mother of the 15-year-old son killed in the traffic accident (written in German) plus further links. His organs and pelvis had been removed while he was still living. I will try to get the article about the practices of transplanting surgeons in connection with Braun Melsungen and the saw-dust-stuffed body (see above) from the SPIEGEL archives.

We have just this type of thing going on in the Seattle area. They have been selling brains of mental patients who have died in King County. Some people have been asked to donate the brains of their deceased family members, not knowing that King County was going to make millions from such sales. Now we have found out that brains have been taken without the permission from the families.

I think I want to barf!

Sorry, you sound like one of the democrats railing against "big oil" or other such conspiratorial rants. I was very much against them pulling Terri's tube, but I don't think it had anything to do with "big organ industry".

I've heard there is a huge market for cadavaric brains for use in transplants....

[Karijotas]

I am absolutely not one of those filibustering democrats. I am simply a man with a humanistic attitude towards other human beings. Neither am I a christian. I was simply asking questions to make people think what might be behind it. Quite obviously, the two Bush brothers did have the means as well as the obligation to prevent a planned murderous attack, but they made only token attempts. One really has to wonder why.

I understand your passion in this issue, but I fail to see any connection between the "organ industry", and Terri's death. You make it sound as if a person can sell off their organs and make their surviving family wealthy, yet you have yet to show any hard evidence to back up your opinion. You say you have a "humanistic attitude towards other human beings". By making these baseless "organ industry" claims, do you realize the damage that is being done to those waiting for organ transplants? Do you really think there is a conspiracy to harvest organs? While your intentions may be good, I think you are way overboard on suggesting this is a conspiracy. It was a violation of Terri's constitutional rights, and thus judicial wrongdoing, but there's no organ harvesting conspiracy here.

chilling. one of the dirtiest evils of our time is the "organ industry." maybe that's what helps subsidize Hospice.

[the invisib1e hand]

dude, you should do a little background on "black market body parts."

Dead bodies are often carved up and pieced - off while they're still warm, and there's big money in it, as anyone in that business will tell you if you get them to talk.

Setting legal precedent that steamrolls any obstacles to the supply of raw materials would be a great boon to that business.

Once again, follow the money.

As a matter of fact, the one and only person I know who carves up cadavers for a living used to brag about how much he made doing it (he was a nurse by training) and lived, by the way, in Pinellas County, Florida. He worked for a "body parts shop" in Tampa.

Perhaps there is something in the water. And it all happens in the "death metal music" and "tittie-bar" capital of the world. Paragon of virtue, that place.

Sad but probably true. NEVER FORGET!!!

Hmm, all this black market organ snatching doesn't explain why there are a gazillion people waiting for kidneys, etc. You'd think we'd be swimming in spare parts. To think it took a member of only 6 days to bring this to our attention!! Here, Kitty.........

I wonder how "fresh" they have to be. I think many are being studied for abnormalities. I don't know how much can be learned when they are dead. I am sure that somebody is looking for a way to transplant one. There are urban legends that describe the effort of putting a human brain into the body of a chimpanzee. The idea for this is that it would be the perfect size for something you would want to do long term space travel.
