Father, Son Accused Of Selling Body Parts Infected With HIV, Hepatitis

A father and son have been federally charged for allegedly selling body parts on the black market they knew were contaminated with infectious diseases.
Donald Greene Sr. was charged with wire fraud in relation to a years-long operation that involved selling diseased cadavers to unwitting researchers, the Associated Press reports.
The family duo was associated with the Biological Resource Center of Rosemont, Ill., which provided human remains donated to science to medical professionals for a fee.
Although it is not illegal to dismember and sell body parts, it is against the law to knowingly sell human remains that test positive for infectious diseases, CBS Chicago reports.

If I donate my body is it actually being being gifted to a for-profit enterprise?

It's almost as if some sellers of black market body parts just don't care anymore.
