It's an interesting conversation, right?
I don't want to get into politics at all, but it's an interesting conversation about how much do we want the government to regulate more or less, right?
It's all about regulation and so many of these.
And for my investigations, a lot of what happens actually happens because of lack of regulation.
We did an episode on body parts, not organs, but this time it was actually body parts.
So most people think that when you die, you have a say in what happens to your body, right?
You can be cremated, you can be buried, or you donate it to science.
But actually, the U.S.
is pretty much the Wild West of the body parts business.
And there's people who are selling, chopping up your body and selling them from the back door without any of your knowledge, which is crazy.
And a lot of it is legal.
A lot of it is illegal and it's being done and people are being caught.
There was a mother and daughter in Colorado who had a funeral home.
And they also had a donation center on the side.
And they had people come in and say they wanted their loved ones to be cremated.
And instead of cremating them, they were, again, chopping up body parts and selling them to donations to biogenetics and scientific centers around the world.
