Corporate entrepreneurs at their best: Two More Lawsuits Filed over Looted Corpses

Two Louisiana women, one from Denham Springs and one from Prairieville, filed lawsuits accusing a New York company of stealing diseased body tissue from corpses and selling it to hospitals for transplants. The women's surgical procedures involve cervical spine fusion and lower back disc fusion. Last month a Louisiana man filed a class action against Biomedical Tissue Services. Baton Rouge attorney Philip Bohrer represents the three Louisiana plaintiffs and says others who have similar complaints in Louisiana and other states have contacted him.   The Advocate, The Advocate  03/30/2006 Read Article: The Advocate
