Nurse Sells Off Body Parts Of Corpses
I honestly am shocked by this. And appalled.
A nurse admitted Wednesday he cut body parts from 244 corpses and helped forge paperwork so the parts, some of them diseased, could be used in unsuspecting patients.
Authorities say nurse Lee Cruceta was the lead cutter in a group that trafficked in more than 1,000 stolen body parts for the lucrative transplant market.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy, taking part in a corrupt organization, abuse of a corpse and 244 counts each of theft and forgery. Cruceta, 35, also has pleaded guilty to related charges in New York and negotiated pleas to serve concurrent sentences of 6 1/2 to 20 years.
Jeez.
The only thing that could’ve made this story worse is if they intentionally used the diseased organs to kill off otherwise healthy recipients to harvest more expensive parts like hearts and lungs and livers.
Ghoulism? Guy must be a Republican.
Hope he gets the max.
What kind of body parts? Can I get some teeth? Thanks.
LOL!, ivy…
I was thinking, why should we wait for some greedy bastard like this to steal and sell our parts? We can start an Ebay thing with our own parts. I’ll auction off my choppers and a still functioning left ear. You in?
I’m not letting some goof make all that money. I know I can get at least 100 for the ear.
Ivy: With as many kids as you have, you should have been able to build a set of dentures out of discarded baby teeth long before now. Come on, man! Get sewing!
