This should be illegal. If You donate your loved ones body to help research a medical condition they had in their life no one should be able to buy it. There needs to be more regulations for donors.

Unfortunately, the body broker almost certainly just straight-up lied about the terms, which is in fact already not legal to do in terms of an agreement.

This type of broker has zero value to the type of research the son wanted done. They let him specify thatโ€™s what he wanted, said they would, all the while having literally zero ties to anyone interested in working with them to get it done and therefore zero intent to actually do it.

Itโ€™s a horrible thing they did to him, but also illustrates how super important it is to research things that have meaning and importance to you deeply, and understand that the most appealing option (most ways to do what he wanted or something similar would be more expensive and complex than what this broker entailed) is not always actually your right one.
