Trading in dead humans. - This is a particularly disturbing news item out of England.
Daniel Foggo and Fiona Govan are reporting for the Telegraph a story titled: Collectors pay more than £5000 [$9,000 US] for dead foetuses
Foggo and Govan inform us that collectors world wide are trading dead babies in various stages of development and baby parts for thousands of dollars.
The trade in aborted and stillborn babies is conducted clandestinely, but The Telegraph found some of those involved by posing as a potential buyer....
...Mr Hudson, who also sells human bones and the remains of various animals and has a small museum of artefacts, does not openly display his collection of late-term foetuses, which include a two-headed baby and various other deformed remains.
All his specimens were, he said, from the Victorian era. He also has a 12-week aborted foetus.
Apparently a lot of these "items" come from universities and medical institutions. Also noted is that if the pickled baby or body part is over 100 years old then a license isn't required for ownership in England.
Here's a snippet of the converstation that Foggo and Govan reported with Mr. Hudson:
"I know where there's one almost identical to this, but it's got stitching down the front where they did an autopsy, and that's $10,000 (£5,500).
"There is a pair of Siamese twins at the moment, and $10,000 was the last bid I heard, which I thought was quite cheap."
There are few things more sickening then this form of collecting.
