Scandals With Alleged Human-Tissue Sales
1999: Christopher Brown, head of the Willed Body Program at the University of California at Irvine, is fired after an audit finds that he sold six spines to a Phoenix hospital for $5,000. The university later determined that it was unable to account for hundreds of willed bodies and may have sent the wrong remains to relatives. About 20 lawsuits were filed. Brown was never prosecuted. The school tightened its procedures.
