Tuesday 18th March 2008, 9pm, BBC Two When veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke died in 2004 few suspected that he was yet to uncover his greatest story. What happened to his body as it lay in a funeral home would reveal a story of modern day grave robbery and helped smash a body-snatching ring that had made millions of dollars by chopping up and selling-off over 1000 bodies. Dead bodies have become big business. Each year millions of people's lives are improved by the use of tissue from the dead. Bodies are used to supply spare parts, and for surgeons to practice on. Horizon investigates the medical revolution that has created an almost insatiable demand for body parts and uncovers the growing industry and grisly black market that supplies human bodies for a price. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/program ... ts/values/ |

Watched the TV show last night...  As expected really, the criminals are jumping on the bandwagon. I see the reason for donating your body, me and the Mrs spoke about it after the program. However shocking it was it is worth noting that they only dealt with the Western World.. goodness know what its like in the Eastern Block and India/Asia garyw |
