Organ donation is so common and regulated, it’s specified on your driver’s license. But what does it mean to leave your remains “to science” and medical research? Who gets the body? What really happens to it? In January of 2014, an FBI and Arizona Attorney General’s Office task force conducted a search and seizure raid on Biological Resource Center, a Phoenix body brokering business that recruited families to donate their loved ones’ bodies for use in scientific research. The task force discovered the stuff of nightmares. Employees with zero medical training were conducting dissections of human bodies with DIY grade electric saws. Twelve tons of severed torsos, heads, arms, legs, feet, hands, and spines were stacked and stuffed in huge freezers and marked for sale. Without prior approval, some of the parts were being sold to the Department of Defense. All the Gory Details takes a deep dive into the shocking world of body brokering, a wild west industry that allows a handful of entrepreneurs with questionable ethics to make millions, quite literally off the backs of others. But as the task force discovers, there are hardly any laws regulating this gruesome industry. Told firsthand by the investigators at the forefront of the case, the grieving family members who donated their loved ones’ bodies under false pretenses, experts in medicine and bioethics, and with previously unreleased interrogations of the body brokers, All the Gory Details uncovers why and how this little-known segment of the massive death industry has been allowed to operate for so long with so few rules and even fewer consequences.©2021 Josh Murphy and Heather Miller (P)2021 Josh Murphy and Heather Miller

Eye-opening

Really makes you think about the lack of moral compass some have.

Monsters walk among us.

Great!!

Honestly, I recommend listening to it. I wish this audible would’ve been a longer, really informative book.

Horrible!

struggled to finish, didn't care for storey at all. Plus, the narrative was horrible.

very unusual subject

warning, spoilers ahead:
l found the incident that was the main subject of this book absolutely horrifing. that being said as a nurse l have always wondered where the med students get their cadavers, l guess l thought they were people that did not have known family, or the homeless primarily
the very idea that you can donate your loved ones body for a specific purpose, and instead the body gets chopped up and sold is disgusting. l will never donate so much as a nail clipping.

Title Says It all

Listened to the entire book and while slicking, the greed for the almighty dollar shows its ugly face again.

Only negative comment is that there is a lot of unnecessary repetition of the story throughout the book.

You'll need an iron stomach to listen to this gore

It's difficult to rate this audible story as it was really a documentary regarding body brokers. As documentaries go, it was great, but it was tough to get thru.

Learned a lot about the body business!

A well-done podcast about a topic I'mnot sure many know about. Death is something we will all encounter - research the options and companies you are considering using to disposition your remains. The podcast said there is more regulation on a head of lettuce than a human head - hopefully this story and others will pave the way for needed changes.

Wow, silly people!

This book, the “plaintiffs”, and those who acted so incredulous are just plain ….silly! What the hell did they think? OF COURSE the company was “for profit”, they were providing a service. Yeah it’s gross but what do you expect? They HAVE TO distribute the parts to where they were needed, did you think the guy in the tie who picked up the donated body was going to do the research himself?? People were horrified to learn about early research on dead bodies. Those researchers were called “ghouls” and some wanted to try them as criminals! Maybe there should be two boxes to choose from: check here for full disclosure. i.e. we’ll send you an email describing every move made…”today we drained all of his blood and then we cut off your uncles feet and sent them out for podiatry research, next we will slice open his chest and remove his heart to send to a university! We’ll be in touch each day with further details.” And the second box you can check says “I don’t care to hear the details”.

not for me .

struggled to listen & finish it . the narrator was ok, just not for me.
