N.Y., China Investigating Black Market in Bodies

[Sonicmedusa]

Subpoenas from the New York attorney general were served Thursday on Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions, which operates body shows in more than a dozen cities....In a statement, the Office of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said it investigating "whether representations made to the public about the methods used to obtain the bodies exhibited in the U.S. are in fact false."

In its public statements, Premier has said all of its bodies are supplied by the plastination laboratories of the Dalian Medical University in Dalian, China.

The supplier for Premier's "Bodies...the Exhibition" is actually a private, for-profit company called the Dalian Medi-Uni Plastination Labs located 30 miles away from the Dalian Medical University.

There is no hard evidence that executed prisoners' bodies ended up in Premier's exhibits, but the fact is, Geller's company does not know who the bodies are, or were. Only that they came from China and were unclaimed bodies.

This story will be on 20/20 tonight, 10 p.m. EST.

It is hard enough to wrap my head around the human rights abuses that this story suggests, let alone that this company has made billions of dollars by displaying these plasticized cadavers in every major US city with no hard questions being asked about where these bodies come from until now.

I wonder how well china will "investigate".

1. This is absolutely surreal.

2. China will probably execute the guy who stole the dead bodies. n/t

3. I just had a scary thought about this organ market.

Imagine how many healthy organs could be "harvested" from the young dead GI's in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Makes me sick to think of it

But if I thought of it

I'm sure the PNAC gang did

Dammm!
