A man who owned a company that provides human tissues was
sentenced to serve many years in prison for trafficking in body
parts taken, without consent, from dismembered corpses from funeral
homes in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Thousands of parts
from hundreds of bodies were used in surgical procedures, including
hip replacements and dental implants. The most commonly used
product was a paste made of bone. Many family members of the tissue
sources testified at the trials. Explain why they were
able to identify each victim’s body part and confirm that it
belonged to their owner. Your answer should include
(but not be limited to) words such as: genetic material,
chromosomes, genes, and genome.
