Mother's body ... sold on to the US Military for $6,000

Man who donated his mother's body to an Arizona center for Alzheimer's research discovers it was sold on to the US Military for $6,000, strapped to a chair and blown up in 'blast test'

An Arizona man has spoken out about the heartbreak he endured when learning that the body of his mother, which he donated to a medical research center, was sold off to the military and blown up in a 'blast testing' experiment.

Doris Stauffer, 73, died five-years ago in hospice care following a several year battle with Alzheimer's, despite doctors saying she didn't carry the gene for the disease.

Medical officials feared the condition may have mutated and hoped to study her brain after her death to further investigate.

However, when she died in 2014, her neurologist was unable to accept her remains so her son, Jim, reached out to a number of donation facilities who he hoped would continue the investigation.

Finally, he settled on the Biological Resource Center (BRC) in Maricopa County following a recommendation from a nurse, under the agreement that the company - led by Stephen Gore - would send her brain to a neurological research group.

I wouldn't do that to be honest no matter of how much money they were giving.

Seems like Jim is son of a devil.

There are a lot of monsters hiding in the shadows of the world of organ donation that most people wouldn't believe. I think most people just find it preferable to pretend so they don't have to acknowledge the danger lurking behind many supposedly humanitarian organizations.

raping children, descrating corpses... what did you expect? pig work the same... and they know it, but it's less fun... did they rape her body before testing? indeed, sick.

I expected you to have the info up, but when you didn't, I did it.

why use is there in the body of ghislaine, prince andrew, bill clinton, hillary and her foundation crew? yeah, there the difference is that they are ALIVE ! if you have to do R&D at least, do REAL one... bunch of suckers... this dod... only good a protecting childrapists, blowing tax dollars, and distrubuting themselves fat pensions...

at least butler got the gig... who was gen butler? cool book... short, simple but clear.

Now I gotta do it your way, eh? You are ordering me? You are just as bad (good?) as they are.

[squatz1]

This may sound horrible and I know I'm truly playing devils advocate here.

But what in gods name is Alzheimer's research center going to be able to do with a body? They probably have tons of them that they can do research and tests on to see what Alzheimer does to the brain and the inner functions of the disease itself.

Maybe selling it to the US military will provide them valuable resources -- in this case, $6000 to be used towards continuing research which is highly costly.

[darklus123]

This is sick, Jim should file a serious case towards the organization where he donated his mom's body. That was probably be a very wrong idea for him again he should seek legal stands towards the involved parties

There is really nothing wrong about that only if they both agreed to do so. You as a human being will you allow certain circumstances without asking your approval? The fact that it isn't just a pig or your pet that you donated

[Mometaskers]

He better sue them. They could be doing even shadier stuff. That they asked for payment for something they got for free should be investigated. Bodies are donated to them yes but under condition that they only be used for research.

If it happens that they find out the they "don't need it" then they should split the money with the family if they do find some other institution willing to take the body and only if the family has, again, agreed on what is going to be done.

This particular body should be of interest to them since as already mentioned, she didn't carry the genes for the disease. Checking bodies like these could help discover how the disease develop in people who would have been labelled as "low risk" when doing DNA tests.

That's the thing, I truly highly doubt that there was any thing signed stating that it was going to be used for research purposes. It was most likely just donated to the research group, and they had autonomy over what they would want to do with it.

They got additional money from this body and they're going to be able to further research on the disease. I would assume that if the son asked what was going to happen to the body, they would inform him -- but that's a difficult question to ask so it was never asked.

the same legal mumbo jumbo that they will use to protect all the friend of epstein... there is no justice in the usa, unless you are a jew, and then you get your rights...

"You have the right to remain silent"... but you aren't using that right. Rather you are blabbing your right to post. Why shouldn't Jews have this right as well? Or is it that they are way too smart to play your dumb game with you.

Yuck, what a son he is.

I pray no mother has a son like that. Even if am atheist and doesn't believe in God, I would never reject a funeral of a stranger let alone a loved one for a few bucks. Indeed, karma says his cash would be stolen too and no benefit to him.

It wasn't his fault. People are donating their organs all the time. He probably thought research on his mother's body will help cure what she died of.
IMO both sides can be explained here. He gave them the rights to perform research on the body, they thought that since the body was bought they have the right to do whatever they like, even blow it up.
If somebody is at fault it's the research center for desecrating the body. Doing research is one thing, but blowing it into pieces so that there's nothing left to bury is another.

[nofreecoins]

So what's made first in a laboratory, the disease or the cure?

This is off-topic in this thread, but you know what the most common line of defence is such cases is: I swear your honor, she said she was 18!
I wouldn't be too harsh on poor prince cuz she was hot

As for the mother, mine died not long ago and was cremated, but I can't say for sure if I wouldn't allow them to take organs if they wanted to. I wouldn't agree to some ballistic tests because that's crazy, but I'm sure she would be happy if her body could save some lives.

As an atheist, you would believe in what Spock of Star Trek said: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

Don't you want to help your fellow people by trying to get rid of diseases like Alzheimer's? How was he supposed to know the medical would do something like this? Like most Americans, he simply didn't realize that the medical doesn't want to find a cure. They would lose too much money with a cure.

This is without a doubt a thing that parents, mothers, and brothers fight for after their loved one has died. As some people will state they want to be an organ donor, but the estate will fight it -- as it is pretty tough to think about a hospital taking the organs out of your loved one.

Even if it could help people, it's a very hard thing to think about.

you are deaf I guess? They can't arrest a pedo like ghislaine maxwell... why do you still believe there is justice in the usa?

This added NOTHING to the conversation.

Then they should have made it clear that they reserve the option to resell the bodies so that relatives wouldn't be surprised to see the corpses of their family in car crashes or on display in some exhibit.

I can't find much information about the process in the US but apparently the norm was that the body is cremated after research and the ashes returned and that putting it on exhibit requires permission from the family.
