Summary An Orange County Register investigation of organ donations revealed that "American businesses make hundreds of millions of dollars selling products crafted from human bodies, even though it is illegal to profit from cadaver parts." The Register found that private businesses get around the law by establishing financial and other questionable links to nonprofit organ or tissue banks.
