[Born Conservative]

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.

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.
