Report: U.K. Doctors Took 20,000 Brains
Mon May 12, 3:39 PM ET

By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - The brains of at least 20,000 people, many of them depressed or mentally ill when they died, were removed without their families' consent over a 30-year period, a senior government doctor reported Monday.

Some brains were removed to help diagnose cause of death, while others were collected for neuropsychiatric research, Dr. Jeremy Metters, Her Majesty's Inspector of Anatomy, said in a report that followed an 18-month investigation.


In one case, a hospital mortician was paid $16 for each brain he provided for research.
I heard that coach's brains sold for $10,000 each. The high price was based on the fact that they had never been used. That means Rasheed Wallace's brain would go in the millions.

I dunno....a brain tortured by as many chemical imbalances as that guy must have can't be worth more than a couple of bucks.

Politician's brains would go for a hell of a lot of money.
