Investigative journalist Scott Carney has been working for the last half a year or so on a story about grave robbers in Calcutta who steal skeletons and sell them to medical supply companies in the US and Europe. “To research the story I combed the state of West Bengal and saw huge piles of police-confiscated bones. I even spoke to some of the people who deflesh human bodies for a living.”

makes sense, since we already outsource many of our medical studies to india as well. medicine will be increasingly catering to indian people i suppose 🙂
