Why is he complaining if he donated her body in first place?

An Arizona man learned five years after his mother’s death that her body had been sold to the military and detonated in a bomb blast test without his consent,

Yeah. It's not like she is all broken up about it.

If her body had been donated to science, is being blown apart by the military that much worse than being dissected by a bunch of hungover med students?

The military still probably falls under “medical testing” if they are seeing what the explosion does to a body as opposed to a ballistic gel dummy.

I’m going to guess he had medical research in mind. I thought you kind of had a say-so over who your body is donated to.

Goddamn. I honestly had no idea they did shite like that. I’d be pretty upset about it too, especially if I checked the box that said I do NOT want my mom blown up.

Well he specifically said he didn't want her blown up..


quote:

Biological Resource Center (BRC), a since shutdown Phoenix-based organ-donor facility, arrived within 45 minutes of her death to take the body away, he said. He said he signed paperwork that specified what was and what was not to happen to his mother's body. "Performing these medical tests that may involve explosions, and we said no. We checked the 'no' box on all that,” Jim Stauffer said.

He later received a box with what he was told was the majority of his mother’s ashes, some information and an ID number.

He said Reuters assembled a paper trail using internal documents obtained by authorities that revealed BRC sold his mother's body to a military contractor to be used in detonation testing. Her body was strapped to a chair and a bomb was detonated underneath it to simulate what happens to the human body when a vehicle hits an IED, he said.



This is also involving the BRC...which was shut down years ago for their shady practices. And recently in the news for reports of what authorities really found when they raided the place (torsos with other heads sewn on them, buckets of body parts, nothing labeled, etc).

Oh shite that was Stephen Gore's place?

The feds raided that place and they had body parts all over. Heads stitched to random torsos. Sounded like a bad horror movie.
