Is it true if your an organ donor they sell extra stuff like skin to beauty companies?

Question

I swear i read an article that stated just that - and there is no regulation on this, so whatever place that gets our organs if were donors sells stuff to cmpanies that turn live cells and stuff to make anti aging creams.

Did yo hea this? I really want to do something about this, cause i'm a donor, but i want people that need my eyes to see, or my heartto live. I dont want to be scrapped out for cash to rich aging women.

here I found part of it:
http://www.geocities.com/organdonate/AAAACh9BodyPartsandBusiness.html

LifeCell Corporation, using donated cadaver skin, produces Alloderm, a plastic surgery product used to reconstruct eyelids for older women who want to look younger and sexier. Other uses include reducing or enlarging breast size and thickening penises.

Have you ever wondered how movie stars or aging TV newsreaders have so few wrinkles or the women have such big, red pouting lips? Collagenesis, Incorporated of Massachusetts, uses cadaver skin to make an injectable gel called Dermalogen. Cosmetic surgeons will, for $1000 a shot, inject Dermalogen into the women to puff up their skin to remove wrinkles and laugh lines or fatten their lips. The benefit of Dermalogen is that the body doesn’t break it down so repair jobs are less frequently needed. The drawback is with the permanency of injected cadaver skin. Ghastly mistakes are hard to fix.46

Answer 1

I've never heard of this, and i highly doubt it is true.

I have read about organ donors being used for not-so-desirable things (like practice for plastic surgery students) but never something like that. i cant even imagine how that would work.

moreover, in cases like that the body parts are not sold, you sign a paper saying you give your body as a gift to science, and what doctors choose to do with it is totally up to them and fair game.

Answer 2

Not at all.
You may even specify which organs you want to give.

Answer 3

Where you high when reading that artical?

Must have been, no one else would have come to such an idiotic conclusion.
