According to foreign media reports, Jim Stauff, a man from Arizona, USA, recently received a sad and surprisingly angry news.
It turned out that after donating the body of his deceased mother to a medical research center, he found that the body was actually sold to the military and was blown up in an explosion test.
Jim Stauffer's mother Doris died in 2014. While receiving treatment at the hospital, doctors said her condition might have mutated and hoped to study her brain after she died.
However, when she died, the doctor said she could not accept her body. So his son Jim contacted some donor agencies, who he hoped would continue to research.
Finally, at the advice of a nurse, he chose the Bioresource Center in Maricopa County, and under the agreement, a company led by Stephen Gore will send Doris' brain to a neural research team.
"I think I'm stupid," Jim told the media after learning about the fate of her mother's body. "I'm not a person who can trust easily. But in this case you don't know what's going on. You can only trust. I think this sense of trust is what they rely on for survival." Jim recalled that a staff member of the Bioresources Center came to take her body within 45 minutes of her death.
At the time, he signed an agreement with the staff that details what they would and would not do to the remains.
A few days later he received a wooden box containing his mother's ashes, but the other party did not provide any information about how Doris's body was used and where other parts of her body were.
Three years later, he learned the true purpose of his mother's body.
At that time, the reporter sent him a series of documents. Records show that staff at the Bioresources Center cremated one of Doris's hands. After giving the ashes to her son, the company sold the rest of Doris's body, including her brain, to a U.S. Army project to study "explosion tests."
Doris's body is tied to a chair, and there is an explosive device under her.
This experiment is to understand what happens to the human body when a vehicle is hit by an explosion device.
Jim recalled: "There was indeed text on the explosion in the agreement document at that time. But we refused, and we made a fork on issues such as 'conducting medical tests that might involve explosions'." Records from the
Bioresource Center and the military showed that at least 20 other bodies were also used in explosion experiments without the permission of donors or relatives. All the remains donated by
were sold to the military at a price of US$5,893 (about RMB 40,000). Officials on the project said they had never received consent from donors or their families. Instead, they were forced to rely on the assurance provided by the Bioresource Center that both family members or donors agreed to use for a specific type of research.
Jim said he was still struggling with the tragedy of the body, and his memories of his mother were often interrupted by the idea of an explosion experiment.
He said, "I don't know if there is any way to get out." Every time I look at the photos and recall, something ugly appears in front of me.
Jim is one of the 33 plaintiffs suing the Bioresources Center and its owner Stephen Gore . Gore, 52, was found to have operated illegally after being found selling human organs in 2015.
According to foreign media reports, more than 1755 human organs were found in the institution. These organs require 142 body bags to move and weigh 10 tons.
In the new lawsuit statement, former FBI special agent Mark Kleiner described various "disturbing" scenarios in Phoenix .
Kleiner tells the story of a woman's head being sewn onto a male torso, which is hung on a wall, which is obviously a "sick joke".
He also mentioned a refrigerator filled with male genitals, infected heads, arms and legs without any labels. There were blood and body fluids on the floor.
Phoenix Bioresources Center was accused of misleading the family and misuse of the body.
The FBI and police raided the center in 2014 as part of an investigation into the illegal trafficking and sale of human organs in Arizona. More than 1,755 human organs were found at the center, an FBI agent said. The Bioresources Center took the remains of the deceased relatives from their families and sold them to middlemen for profit.
The corpse is also cut by chain saws and band saws, but these tools should not be used medically to dismember the corpse.
examination even found a price list of body organs: a complete upper torso is worth $4,000, a spine is worth $1,900, a leg from the middle of the femur to the tip of the toes is $600, a head is $500, and a knee is $375.
A complete corpse may cost $5,000 to $10,000.
After investigation, Gore pleaded guilty to the charge of illegal operation of the enterprise in October 2015.
He admits that the way these corpses are used is not allowed by donors, and it is an unregulated industry.
According to media reports, Gore's family begged for a leniency judgment, calling him a "person with a family."
Gore does not have a diploma above high school, nor does he have any license or certification for the operation of the body donation program.
Gol was sentenced to one year in jail in 2015, suspended for four years, and was sentenced to pay US$121,000 (about RMB 830,000) in compensation.
