I'd like to know if any of her body organs are being purchased and by whom; and are these being purchased and who gets the money.

It's a Federal crime to "buy" or "sell" human organs. Under the 2004 "Organ Donation and Recovery Improvement Act" it's now legal for the federal government to reimburse living donors for expenses and award grants fro projects aimed at increasing donations and improving organ preservation and compatibility, and even that was considered a big change.

[null and void]

That will change.

Even if its under the guise of "Scientific Research"? In re selling organs? I would think the study of Terri's brain would be a much sought after item -- effects of dehydration, starving; plus possibly in re the onset of her current condition. Perhaps the "autopsy" Mr. Schiavo is demanding aims to do just this; perhaps not. This is my real question. Why is he demanding an autopsy? What will be requested for study in that autopsy?
