OMGGGG!

 

 

 

Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic uses in Europe.

The gang allegedly targeted people on remote roads, luring them with fake job offers before extracting their fat to sell it for $15,000 (£9,000 ) a litre.

Other suspected gang members, including two Italian nationals, remain at large.

Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances of up to 60 people in the region.

At a news conference in the capital, police showed reporters two bottles containing human body fat and images of one of the alleged victims.

One of the alleged killings is reported to have taken place in mid-September, with the person´s body tissue removed for sale.

Cmdr Angel Toledo told Reuters some of the suspects had "declared and stated how they murdered people with the aim being to extract their fat in rudimentary labs and sell it".

Police said they suspect the fat was sold to cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies in Europe, but have not confirmed any such connection.

hahah, well... nobody was hurt!!! that is why this was morally justified in my opinion.

 

Unless it was meant to be funny, it´s a dangerous way of thinking. I don´t think blowing private property is a solution to any problem. What if somebody finds it morally justified to blow up your house while you´re out only because he or she finds it offensive that you criticise Islam?

 

No, violence, bombs and vandalism are not justified means of persuasion.

OMG...this is hideous!!! {#emotions_dlg.rant}

 

I´m afraid the commerce in human body parts has gotten out of control.  Best to know your manufacturers...I always check skin deep for products before purchase.

 

Human body parts are used more than many realize....for instance in dental work.  Michael Mastromarino, a  former oral surgeon was a lead in the plunder of Alistair Cooke´s body.

 

This is something I would not have thought of before, but recently when I had root canals and crowns made, I questioned my dentist on just what was being done and with what. FYI....The human bone is used  in dental implants.

 

There was a recent CSI show that featured a gang that kidnapped young women to be used in prostitution. If the young lady was too much trouble, her organs were harvested.

 

Something like this certainly cause one to think, doesn´t it?..........what have we become?

 My uncle makes dental implants and I never heard him talk about using bones... is this a thing that differs per country, or some kind of special implant?

Barba-Mama....I doubt if talking about the gory and lurid details of doing dental implants is exactly the type of conversation most uncles would have with their nieces....Here, more than you probably ever wanted to know....Understanding Dental Implants

 

from my previous post, bone harvesting is not always done in an ethical manner.

 

FYI  Transplantable organs and tissues

You are right, although I disagree that these two situations are equivalent. Commercial property and home property are different, I would not support this if the incident was that someone destroyed a porn shop owner´s home.

You are also right that this is not a good form of persuasion, in fact this is not persuasion whatsoever, and it really is not changing the global situation. I just think that destroying places related to sex industry is a morally good thing. Women´s sexuality should never be available for purchase in a civil, just society.

I agree with Daydreamer...."No, violence, bombs and vandalism are not justified means of persuasion."............in either commercial or private property.  I would add they are also not an effective method of persuasion. ...........as for sexuality....of course nobody, male or female should be forced or coerced into the sale of their sexuality.

 

I would also add that the means to sustain oneself in a dignified and honorable manner should be available to all.

Morality is relative, what we can base on is the law. Would planting a bomb under abortion clinic or a fur shop be morally justified too? Or destroying a coffee shop in The Netherlands? Of course law is not perfect but it must be a point of reference. If you don´t like the law then do something to change it without breaking it. We live in democratic societies, it´s not saudi lol

 

And it´s not only the female sexuality that´s available to purchase, there usually are a few men in porn films. Not to mention gay porn I don´t think government should ban legal pornography but, rather, they should do their best to stop the hideous human trafficking and forcing people into prostitution
