Lydia Reid sat graveside on the day that her infant’s body was being exhumed. Since his funeral in 1975, she’d come to the grave almost every week and almost always with flowers. But last month, she came only with hope for an answer.Call it a gut instinct, but something about the baby’s burial 42 years earlier, along with events before and after, nagged at her over the years. She’d long sought permission for the exhumation. With the help of a member of Parliament, she finally reached this moment.Reid watched the dirt fly and the grave unearthed with a heavy heart. Six feet down came the sight of a disintegrating coffin and a promising sign — a plaque bearing her baby’s name. It was misspelled: “Garry.”Soon after, a noted forensic anthropologist studied the coffin’s contents: baby garments, fragments of the coffin and a little cross. But there were no human remains. No bones. Nothing. SHE was going to discover a heartbreaking truth. Her baby and others had their Organs Harvested. Read the story for this is what we have been working on. The only good news is that this appears in the Washington Post. Of all things. Here is a picture of a beautiful plaque with Words From A Mother's Heart http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/for-42-years-she-mourned-at-her-son%e2%80%99s-grave-turns-out-the-coffin-was-empty/ar-AAszYoo?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=U346DHP&fullscreen=true#image=1
Since a close family member is a heart transplant recipient, it is, for me, an ethical dilemma, unlike any others. I do know that the medical profession is aware of the horrors and "look the other way" medical facilities. For the most part, it is ethical in the USA. So many stopgaps in place to not have it handled with morals. Heart transplants did not start in earnest until 1988. Our family has met the donor family for our family member. The donor died in an accident and the family wanted to provide life to someone else, who otherwise would not have it. The program in place is rigorous and had a checklist of requirements on our part that was quite long. So, I don't know if there are backroom deals with the extremely wealthy, but, not with your regular person who is listed with UNOS. The medical profession in America does know about ISIS and other terrorist groups harvesting organs from their prisoners and their families, though. It is part of the continuing crisis of human/child, organ/blood, money, and drug trafficking. I had at one time thought that celebrities just "jumped the line" for organs, like Crosby, etc., but it is possible that people are targeted.
I understand where you are coming from about your relative. Not everything is criminal, but some are. This is the problem. They are not to be trusted is what IS the problem as well. Yes, there are top doctors, mainly corrupt surgeons that know about the harvesting and profit from it. It is a disgusting practice and life.
