Oh, this is NOT good. A 69-year-old woman and her 46-year old son were sentenced to 15 and 20 years in prison for dissecting corpses and selling body parts without permission. 26 victims have just learned what happened to their loved ones and are in total shock and horror. One woman just learned the two Colorado funeral home operators had sold her mother's shoulders, feet and knees for profit. According to 'News Nation' the two would, "ship bodies and body parts that tested positive for, or belonged to people who had died from, infectious diseases, including Hepatitis B and C, and HIV, after certifying to buyers that the remains were disease-free". U.S. Attorney Cole Finegan called their behavior "horrific, morbid and driven by greed."
