Commercial Markets Created by Abortion: Profiting from the Fetal Distribution Chain To compute the wholesalers monthly net profit, gross revenue received from the researchers, payment for specific fetal parts and tissues harvested was based on a price list called “Fee for Service Schedule” published by wholesaler Opening Lines, a Division of Consultative and Diagnostic Pathology, Inc.

The fee schedule purports to estimate the reimbursable cost allocable to retrieving a particular body part, organ or tissue. If the laws against trafficking were being observed, the fees for providing the fetal parts ordered should essentially correspond to the wholesaler?s costs of $6,700 computed above.

According to logs detailing tissue shipments, 155 specimens were shipped in a representative month. These specimens included:

<><> 47 livers,

<><> 11 liver fragments,

<><>7 brains,

<><>21 eyes,

<><> 8 thymuses,

<><> 23 legs,

<><> 14 pancreases,

<><> 14 lungs,

<><> 6 arms,

<><> 1 kidney/adrenal gland, and,

<><> 3 intact specimens for purposes of securing the blood.

When priced out according to the “Fee for Service Schedule,” the shipment of parts for the month generated gross revenues of between $18,700 and $24,700, depending upon whether the parts were shipped fresh or frozen.

Some sample prices for individual body parts from the above-referenced schedule are as follows:

<><> liver $150,

<><> pancreas $100,

<>><>thymus $100,

<><> kidney $125,

<><> lungs and heart block $150,

<><> brain $999,

<><> spinal cord $325,

<><> bone morrow $350,

<><> eyes $75,

<><> gonads $550,

<><> intact cadaver $400,

<><> intact trunk with/without limbs $500,

<><> limbs (at least 2) $150.
