More confirmation of a huge black market for "fresh body parts."

"Arms, heads, legs, kept on ice to stay fresh."

"... whole corpses were routinely sold for $5,000, arms for $750 and heads for $500." (From a different article, same business.)

Why do they want the arms? Not even hand transplants are routinely successful. Do they eat the arms?

Bunch of transplant parts.

Skin, muscle tissue, bone marrow, nerve tissue, blood vessels for patching around bad cholesterol deposits, you name it. Not to mention stem cells for implantation or research.
