Human body parts delivered to Michigan home

[CHIMO]

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Two packages containing human body parts – including a liver and part of a head – meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a home.

The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday at Franck and Ludivine Larmande's home by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.

"My husband started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a liver,'" Ludivine Larmande said. "He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.

"Something wasn't right. It was scary, and I'm glad I didn't open them.''

No problem. Probably just a computer glitch from somewhere.

3. I had an awful thought when I read this

All I could think was that, if they were delivered to my house, the beagle could easily have torn open the box, and well, done what dogs will do to liver.

:scared:

6. I'd probably sue if it happened to me.

I'm not normally a litigious person but I'm sure I would've required some medicating and counseling after seeing that ear. :scared:

7. America - what a country!....or should I say China...

Maybe they were trying to escape on the cheap...

I know the economy class in airlines has gotten bad with having to pay for a lousy sandwich for food, but this is ridiculuous...

15. Why is China shipping us body parts?

...Authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs and body parts could be dispersed across the country, the newspaper said. Two of five packages headed to the northern Michigan lab broke open, scattering their contents...

Why?

18. And they didn't go fishing????

Liver makes awesome catfish bait.

19. If they're from China, do we know they were organ donors?

I mean, now that this thread has been moved to the lounge, there's probably zero chance of anyone taking any of this seriously, but the Chinese government's done some shit that's more fucked up than that.
