About this work

Description

Documentary looking at New York surgeon, Dr Michael Mastromarino who 'harvested' hundreds of corpses without relatives' permission before selling the bone and tissues for transplants. In 2008, he was sentenced to between 18 to 54 years in prison. Here, he talks for the first time about what happened and expresses his opinions in general about the bone and tissue culture industry. We also hear from people who worked with Mastromarino, those whose relatives had tissue cultures stolen and those who benefited from tissue transplantation.
