Cadaver Fat Pumped Into Boobs and Butts

[FlyersFan]

People donate their bodies to medical schools in New York.   The medical schools use them for their usual teaching and research.   But then the medical schools harvest the dead persons fat and sell it to living people who want it implanted into their boobs and butts and other cosmetic procedures.    The fat isn't wasted and the school makes money.   The dead person signs up for full body donations and agrees that the school can do anything with the body once they get it.

My husband has cadaver bone in his back bone.  He had surgery and needed new disc material and it came from a donor.  That's the kind of thing that dead bodies are used for .... donations to the living to help them medically OR donations to medical schools for research and for medical students to practice on.

So ... what do you think ... cadaver fat being pumped into living boobs and butts ...
Is it ethical?  Or Is it immoral?
Is it just fine - waste not want not?
Is it disrespectful to the dead, even though they agree to it?

From a religious point of view it's disrespectful to the human body.  Even though the dead agree to it.   From a medical point of view it has really hasn't got much merit.   From an economic point of view its a new industry emerging and people are going to make a bunch of money off this ... so much that I think the dead person should get paid (his/her estate should) instead of just giving it away for free.   From a psychological point of view it makes people happy and it doesn't hurt anyone expert the person getting the cosmetic surgery, it's bad for them to be that obsessed with curves on their body.    

But there is the creep factor .... the people who get their boobs and butts injected with the dead persons fat .... every time they look in the mirror at their supposedly pretty curves they wont really be looking at themselves, they will be looking at a dead persons body.    It's pegging my creep meter.   But if it doesn't bug them then so what?  

Anyways, I have mixed feelings on this ... 

STORY HERE

Stacey was at the top of her game in poshness and pizzazz. But when it came to cutting a curvy hourglass figure, the svelte NYC siren came in dead last.   Until she spent nearly $45,000 getting her hips and rear pumped full of a dead person’s donor fat, that is.   “It can sound jarring at first,” Stacey, 34, a married financial specialist, told The Post. “But when you look at it scientifically, cadaver donor tissue [the process of removing bone, skin, and tendons from a deceased donor] has been used in medicine for decades.”

the fat can come from full body donations, which are handled in the Empire State by the Associated Medical Schools of New York, which requires a separate, no limitations sign-up.   Donors must be over the age of 18 and devoid of specific medical conditions such as transmittable disease and having undergone an autopsy.

If they are donating it, no point in wasting the stuff.

I mean it is rather morbid and grotesque.

But lots of things tick that box that we don't really think about.

The fact is, human body parts are big business(yuk).

I don't think people will need their "Cadaver Fat" in the next life.

Waste not, want not, i suppose.

If people donate their bodies, given informed consent and people use the body with informed consent, who are we to get in the middle of a valid contract?

who are we?

people with a sense of decency, human dignity, and propriety?

it is yukky and shouldn't be allowed

that is just my opinion like anyone can have but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be law

blind libertarianism sucks

I don't have a problem with any legal recycling of human tissue.   I remember a Rodney Dangerfield line where he says, "I'm donating my body to science ...  fiction."    I don't want anybody to rush me, but when I'm good and done with this bonemeat shell, then I hope others can make use of it, although I expect it will be good and worn out by then.    Whatever is left over, if anything, should be cremated and scattered.   It won't matter to me, but it might matter to friends/family that survive me.

When I was young, I imagined that my body parts would age at the same rate, but that has not been the case.   Stuff breaks and you have to fix it or replace it, and ultimately most of us die of a lack of spare parts.

Decency and dignity went out with the trash a long time ago. As I stated: INFORMED consent. They know what they are getting into before its done. Sounds like a valid contract to me.

I can't personally imagining wanting this, or really fat from any source injected into my body;  if I couldn't make the effect I wanted with muscle, I wouldn't want it.   TMI warning!!!!   However, I have been successfully fighting the development of elderly moobs, so I really don't relate.   I can't imagine wanting a more bubbleish posterior and willing to inject foreign fat into it.  Still, I think those things should be allowed for those who so desperately want it.

I see it as the same thing as cadaver skin used for burn victims and the sort. I would not do it either but some people dont care what gets injected into their lips, butt, boobs, nose, thighs, ect.

I have mixed feelings on this for a medical reason.
Some nutrients and toxins hang out in body fat....forgive my medical terminology 
 
Who is to say if the fat you are getting comes from a healthy person, a person with medical issues but still a donor, or a paranoid freak who overdoes the amounts of vitamins and supplements they take?

well maybe in your world

but fortunately other people get votes too

i don't care if they agree between themselves

the very fact that it is occurring offends me

therefore i move to curtail such behaviour
