We will be in touch
More 4 right now. Grim watching. Corpses harvested for bones which were replaced with sections of plastic pipe. Alister Cooke (Letter from America) was harvested despite dying of metastasized cancer aged 85 🙁
What are the thieves doing with the bones?
Speaking of bones; few years ago, a mate got hold of a real human skeleton from his work (science lab). They were chucking it out, as real ones are somehow considered 'unethical' apparently (and now illegal to buy a 'new' one I think). So, he brought it home to the flat he shared with another mate and his gf. Stuck it in the corner of the living room, where it wore an assortment of hats, coats and a Leeds Utd scarf.
One day the lads were out, and the GF threw it away, because she felt it made the place look 'untidy' (real reason was, she had some friends coming round, and could've just bunged it in a cupboard or something). Dozy cah. The lads were not happy, is all I can say- apparently they sell for a fair few quid. She also threw away an intact skull and jaw. That was going to be mine.
She's never going to be forgiven. She threw a human being's remains into a rubbish chute. 😯
I'm working with A&E consultants and neurosurgeons to start the "harvesting" process sooner rather than later. Effectively, they will start prepping the transplant rooms as soon as a "not likely to survive" prognosis is made.
Is he going to make it?
Probably not
Let's get ready
Motorcyclists show most promise apparently.

To be fair this bit is all fine and legal. Faking the consent and giving false blood samples to mask diseased samples was not. Oh and Mr Cooke was 95.
Still, pretty mad how convinced matey is off his own innocence.

using them in reconstructive surgery, without permission
Being recorded as I write. Looking forward to seeing. The True Stories series of docs on More4 throws some proper curveballs. I've seen some great stuff on it. The Cove was one of the most shocking.

count yourself lucky I ride a motorcycle! 😀
did I hear right, when they did one exhumation there was nothing in the coffin as the whole corpse had been used ?
