What do hospitals/clinics do with removed human parts, such as amputated limbs, liposuction-ed fat, removed organs (ie an appendix), and other gross human gore?

Things that are unknown-- meaning a weird cancer or something, are saved ina lab on site.
The rest is incincerated and sent to a dump for biomedical waste.

They give it to the cooks in the hospital cafeteria. Tip: don't eat the stew!
Just kidding! :) It's incinerated as biohazardous waste using sterile methods.

Did you ever notice that all Hospitals will have a hot dog stand in the near vincinity? That should answer your question.

Any bits not used for examination, diagnosis and storage must be incinerated under British law.

some of the tissue is used for scientific/ medical research or transplantation (only a fraction of it), . The rest is incinerated.
