.........but you can harvest tissue from dead bodies.
Yes, this is a whole other can of worms, isn't it? I think I would rather die than get products from these sources.....and I don't want to end up this way either.
Who owns your body parts?
Alistair Cooke's body lay cold in the embalming room of an East Harlem funeral home, suspended in the brief limbo between death and cremation. A "cutter" soon arrived to make a collection. He sliced open Cooke's legs, sawed the bones from the hip, and took them away. The quintessentially British presenter of Masterpiece Theatre and Alistair Cooke's America—the face of genteel, urbane Albion to millions of Americans—was being carved up for parts.

Quoting AEnigma III: This is all you can say about China?  |
Well there is this:
Slave labor in China
It all boils down to consumer beware and conscious....supply and demand...greed and exploitation.

So... let me get this right. It is only TURKEY we are not allowed to criticise on this site right?
No posts about "ouhhhh I love Chinese food" or "Ouhhh I cant wait to get back there". No "love and tolerance" for their culture ?????? 
Its ok to talk about THEIR human rights record?

On the subject of China, I witnessed an interesting conversation in the chat room a week or so ago, where several turkish members were discussing how they hate "huns". Sadly, a chinese girl was logged in a saw it too
