Graft tissue stolen from the late Alistair Cook?

[Guest guest]

Gee, and I thought this story was just ghoulish fiction -- originating solely in the fertile imaginations of "Law and Order" script writers . . . . ??!!. Sad to say, the iallegations cited below may be relevant to our group. Besides making the kind of pain-pump/infusion system that several of us have had implanted, Medtronic manufacturers those little "cages" often used in anterior revision surgery. The cages are packed with graft tissue -- often, a mixture of bone morphogenic protein (BMG) and bone tissue harvested from donors after they die. Of course we all wouild like to trust that the cadaver-graft in our bodies came from VOLUNTARY donors. . . .
