Dead bodies have always been used in medicine. But demand for human tissue is high, resulting in the cruel new trade of body trading, in which cold-blooded traders have used the bodies of those who haven't given their permission, with serious consequences. In this article, however, we take a look at what companies legally trading.
Hands, forearms and shoulders
The forearm and hand are used in surgical practice for learning difficult techniques. They are fairly easy to prepare. Shoulders, however, are fairly difficult to remove and prepare, so are valued more highly.
Brain
Used mainly by neurosurgeons for practicing new methods of tumor (bướu) removal and treating brain injuries.
Price: $600
Cornea This transparent (trong suốt)tissue at the front of the eye lets in light and helps the lens focus the light on the retina (võng mạc) so we can see. Injury or disease can distort (biến dạng) the shape of the corneas or make them cloudy, but a cornea transplant (cấy ghép) can restore a person's sight.
Price: $6,000/pair
